Hello, I would like to ask a question. I noticed that some important packages in Hamm (Latex and Emacs, for example) write in /usr/local during installation (at least they create directories there).
Well, our local system administrator is having problem with this. It has decided to mount /usr/local using nfs as read only (then you would have an unique copy of /usr/local in all machines). When he tries to install any package that writes in /usr/local it aborts installation. He figured a temporary solution. He simply unmounts /usr/local after installing and then the install scripts are smart enough to deal with this. Is there any better solution? Other point, why this new behavior? I thought /usr/local was an administrator responsibility... Thank you all. Paulo.
