ok i reviewed FHS and decided to not change the way Gentoo does it. |
| 13 |
to summarize, Gentoo puts binaries in /usr/games/bin and gaming related |
| 14 |
libraries in /usr/games/lib ... i dont know where you're getting this /usr/ |
| 15 |
games/share since no package should be using this ... |
| 16 |
i dont like placing gaming related libraries into /usr/lib since nothing else |
| 17 |
in the system cares about games ... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
in my mind it makes people's lives easier if they want to restrict games ... |
| 20 |
they only have to look at /usr/games/ and /usr/share/games/ rather than |
| 21 |
trying to track down specific files/directories in a huge list in /usr/lib/ |
