Why? (Not trolling, just genuinely curious.) Do you mean KDE being in |
| 10 |
/usr at all, or just not in /usr/kde/? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I think it makes sense to keep it under /usr, where everything else is |
| 13 |
installed. I'd rather not have packages installed in /opt at all. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Granted, I think there could be a better solution (I don't like package |
| 16 |
subdirs directly under /usr either) but I don't think /opt is it. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
/opt conveys nothing to me. /usr/prog, /usr/app, /usr/soft, it's hard to |
| 19 |
think of a meaningful name that's not more than 4 chars, but I think |
| 20 |
that's a good solution. A symlink from /usr/bin/kde to |
| 21 |
/usr/XXX/kde/3.3/bin would take care of the $PATH problem, I think. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Sorry for jumping in, and sorry if I've said something ridiculous here. |
| 24 |
I'm new to Gentoo but this interests me. |
