The FHS opines that /opt is really for large, static, software packages. 3.2.1.5. The /opt/ Directory The /opt/ directory provides storage for large, static application software packages. A package placing files in the /opt/ directory creates a directory bearing the same name as the package. This directory in turn holds files that otherwise would be scattered throughout the file system, giving the system administrator an easy way to determine the role of each file within a particular package. For example, if sample is the name of a particular software package located within the /opt/ directory, then all of its files could be placed within directories inside the /opt/sample/ directory, such as /opt/sample/bin/ for binaries and /opt/sample/man/ for manual pages. > regards, > > -- > Raja Ali M.I.
