Re: [RFC] Package build time config for installation directories.
Hi,
Would this not be easier done by having a mapping done at
unpack/install time, and then only scripts/programs with hard coded
paths need be changed?
So dpkg would map the Linux FS to the local FS' and it can
even take into account things like transforming to /opt heirarchy.
Advantage? Not every darned script/package has to be changed
for this functionality.
