Re: /opt/ again (was Re: FreeBSD-like approach for Debian? [was:
/opt Third party commercial packages
/usr/local Sysadmins local additions
/usr/packages Just an "interface" for Debian emulating /usr/ports in BSD
Having a BSD style unified source tree for the base does NOT require one to
stick "packages" in /usr/local. It doesn't even require any changes to what
we are doing now. The Reference Base Im working on now would essentially
replace a dozen or so "Required" packages in Debian. And should be "drop
onto-able" for any other LSB compliant Linux without any disruption. Get
the tar.gz, plump it onto your disk.
