Since the issue's been raised, I've nothing against this proposal. We want to |
| 11 |
counter the possible future problem of other packages following kde's lead |
| 12 |
and supporting multiple versions in separate directories, because many |
| 13 |
directories under /usr really is messy. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
E.g., create a /usr/packages and put qt, kde and anything else there |
| 16 |
(/usr/packages/kde/3.2; ...). Who wants to take this proposal to the FHS |
| 17 |
people? :-) |
