is it possible to explain, why this is done? What is the advantage of /usr or the disadvantage of /opt?
The /opt/gnome <-> /usr separation simply doesn't work. It worked reasonably in the past when GNOME was sort of self-contained, but today GNOME packages install a lot of files (mono libraries, python modules, dbus services, message catalogs...) that *must* live in /usr.
As kde is dependend on e.g. dbus as well, does that mean that in the future kde (kde4) will move to /usr as well?
I believe that is the plan, the KDE team didn't want to move until KDE 4 though. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
