I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the reasoning for /usr/local is that "it's not in the *LFS* book" -- i.e., I suspect that the definition of "distro" in this case is "LFS book contents only". That is one valid position to take, but I believe that "the distro" (as far as the FHS is concerned) should be LFS plus BLFS, not LFS only -- because while an LFS-book system is actually usable, it does *very* little. Therefore, I believe that BLFS is fine installing stuff into /usr. But it depends on what you see as the definition of "the distro". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH5C0BS5vET1Wea5wRA8DnAJ4z8eQdHyWufvCfVAIvgg1mLqmqYQCaA/bE 3bMFfXAPXk/naDoqi93/mc8= =nqq2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
