The filesystem heirarchy standard? I haven't read it (Yet), but it |
| 23 |
makes it real hard to have multiple versions of X & switch between |
| 24 |
them... Although I notice qt, tcl, tk etc all have a good directory |
| 25 |
naming scheme including the version... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I'll try raising a bug & see how far I get... |

(The reason I want multiple versions is for when I raise a problem |
| 30 |
with the XOrg developers for a problem not directly gentoo's, quite |
| 31 |
often they want you to try the CVS version... previously you could |
| 32 |
alter the prefix & just move a symlink... Now it's de-install & |
| 33 |
re-install time. |
