Hi,
according to my build logs, installing something into /opt/packagename is forbidden in FHS 2.2?? What's with that now?
...especially when I read up about FHS 2.2 and its explicitly allowed to install into /opt/packagename...
It's forbidden for a distribution to install there. So, if you want to deliver your package as part of openSUSE, /opt is wrong. If you distribute it separately, it's ok to use. Note that LSB has additional requirements here, I think instead of packagename, it's companyname...
