ok then, according to the spec all of the Fedora.us (Fedora Extras) stuff should go under /opt.
Sun's java rpm doesn't in my linux system.
All of their Solaris stuff does under Solaris... that's what I meant.
Why should any package from any vendor for any system that allows seamless installation, removal, listing and verification have to go to /opt?
I don't know. I'm not advocating moving anything to /opt. For a number of reasons I hate it. What I'm saying is just moving a bunch of stuff to /svr won't achieve FHS compliance unless /opt is addressed. I think that the FHS is a bunch of hooey, to be honest.
