1 Hello Devs!
2
3 What is the supposed location of installed packages, /usr or /usr/local?
4 Or stated otherwise, is it allowed for an ebuild to explicitly put files
5 into /usr/local?
6
7 The reason I'm asking this is that I just found out that app-misc/bins
8 explicitly puts some files into /usr/local/share and I always thought
9 /usr/local is reserved for manually installed packages.
10
11 Anybody can shed some light on the matter?

14 Cheers,
