I've talked about this to a gentoo dev too. The problem is that gentoo |
| 12 |
considers everything that's not binary-only part of the system (I think |
| 13 |
that's ok by the definition as they "ship" that software with their |
| 14 |
distribution (if you made a cd)). |
| 15 |

That sentence about "no subdirs in /usr" makes the situation difficult |
| 17 |
for gentoo. /usr/local is for the local administrator so gentoo can't |
| 18 |
install there, gentoo has a rule that only binary packages get into |
| 19 |
/opt, but /opt is the only part of the filesystem that subdirs are |
| 20 |
allowed in for individual packages according to the fhs. And you can |
| 21 |
really understand why one wouldn't want to have gnome or kde installed |
| 22 |
directly into /usr (which would be the only gentoo+fhs compliant solution). |

Can anyone lighten me up on why there should be no subdirs in /usr ? |
