1 There are other issues, too:
2
3 1)
4 /usr/libexec (should not exist, files should be moved to /usr/sbin
5 and/or /usr/lib)
6
7 2)
8 /mnt (is reserved for administrator, subdirectories not allowed, mount
9 point for removable media is not yet standardized, will probably be
10 /media)
11 http://bugs.freestandards.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27
12
13 3)
14 /home/httpd (/home is reserved for users, service home is not yet
15 standardized, will probably be /srv, currently /var/lib or /var is used
16 in other distros, too)
17 Causes big problem on AFS or NFS /home systems (unable to emerge update
18 on client machines; unable to have two webservers in one network,
19 because they are sharing data).
20
21 4)
22 /usr/kde and /usr/qt (/usr should not have sub-trees, sub trees are
23 allowed in /opt, i. e. /opt/kde and /opt/kde).
24
25 4)
26 /usr/games should be a directory for binaries, not subtree, (i. e.
27 /usr/games/bin -> /usr/games, /usr/games/lib -> /usr/lib,
28 /usr/games/share -> /usr/share/games).
29
30 5)
31 /usr/X11R6/share is not in FHS (probably move --datadir to
32 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11)
33
34 Issues 1, 4 and 5 can "automagically" solve GNU-FHS:
