Should i move all my stuff to /usr already ? i prefer to not screw with that now personally.
Taking this to opensuse-packaging, Stanislav do you have a view on this?
actually, there was a decision by the dist team only to change the prefix at major version updates to avoid hazzle and incompatibilities.
Not sure, if this really will happen for Gnome 2 line.
The possible GNOME move to /usr will be discussed after SLED10 release. It is not yet clean whether we will do it. It is not clean, whether GNOME3 will appear in next years. And even if it will appear, the API will be probably at least partially compatible with GNOME2. Standard GNOME applications can be compiled in SuSE with any prefix (including /usr/local) without any problems (see /etc/profile.d/gnome-filesystem.sh and /etc/profile.d/xdg-enviroment.sh, except http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95501). The prefix clash problems can occur with core GNOME and GTK+ (input methods, pango modules, gnome-vfs modules etc.), if some packages will be in /usr and some in /opt/gnome. And as I wrote in previous mail, all compatibility problems can be fixed by /opt/gnome -> /usr symlink, which is not yet possible with current RPM. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 296 542 382 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging-help@opensuse.org
