After running into an ebuild that installs a binary-only package into |
| 2 |
/usr, I thought it shouldn't be done, but decided to check our developer |
| 3 |
docs anyway. |

The only reference I find to it is in the ebuild howto: |
| 6 |
"Note: The /opt directory is reserved in Gentoo Linux for binary-only |
| 7 |
packages. Examples include mozilla-bin, acroread, netscape and |
| 8 |
realplayer. Packages that get installed here will usually require a |
| 9 |
/etc/env.d/foo stub file." |

I think this should be clarified into the development policy, |
| 12 |
binary-only packages into /opt. |
