debian-med newbie seeks advice on where to place packages
I manage GT.M (http://fis-gtm.com &
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fis-gtm) and after many years of having
GT.M on GNU/Linux available as FOSS (GPL v2 starting in 2001; AGPL v3
since 2008), I am finally working in creating Debian packages for GT.M.
We have been assigned "gtm" as a package name by lanana.org, and I am
trying to figure out where I should place GT.M. According to
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES
it appears that I should put it in subdirectories of /opt/gtm, but it
could just as easily be argued that it belongs in /usr/local/bin/gtm.
Any advice / opinions would be appreciated.
GT.M is an implementation of MUMPS, which is a tightly coupled language
and database widely used in health care.
Thank you very much.
