Hi,
When I packaged the gnome apps, I originally installed them into
/usr/X11R6 because they were X applications.
David Engel disagreed with this, and said /usr/X11R6 was only for the
X system itself, not applications. Since I couldn't find anything in
the Debian Policy manual, FSSTND or FHS that said apps should (or
shouldn't) go into /usr/X11R6, I agreed to move them.
I also notice that libgtk1 was not installed under /usr/X11R6. I
think there are many other examples.
Now I've recieved requests to move the Gnome binaries/libraries back
to /usr/X11R6.
Personally, I don't care where they go. But there needs to be a clear
policy on this. Either:
a) /usr/X11R6 is for the X11 system only.
b) /usr/X11R6 is for the X11 system and all libraries and applications
which depend on X.
Which shall it be?
Cheers,
- Jim
