-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Daniel,
I recommend you to read section 3.8 of FHS. Someone who talks so knowingly of FHS should take the time to read it, too.

How large do you want $PATH to be? And before you can say > "symlink", we can't screw around with /opt/bin, either. And providing > one wrapper script for every binary is MESSY, and SUCKS imho.

The answer is: $toomany. > There are reserved directories, under which the distributions do not touch. /opt/bin is one of them, and it's a directory that the local admin manages. /opt/bin should be in $PATH I said, and /opt/lib in library search path. I said nothing about /opt/<package>/bin if you would care to notice. /opt/bin and /opt/<package>/bin serve different purposes. Thanks, - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comp. Sci.
