Rubbish, I do not have an anti-RH attitude. It's just that there are people on RH's payrole, of whom I feel are abusing their position @RH. I also feel that RH often presses through decisions and immature, questionable piece of SW in ways, I consider to be violent. Besides this, wrt. my sentence above - RH distros ever since they are around, have been using /usr/lib/<package> as "last escape to the FHS". It's a RH tradition, nothing more, nothing less - It doesn't strctly comply to the FHS, but it doesn't hurt much in most cases. > Seriously, anyone reading this list already knows that if > a guy from Red Hat does something, whatever it may be, you are against > it. Well, this is a misperception - I am remaining silent on the vast majority of occasions and only become vocal when I feel things are derailing and/or regressing. It's just that RH very often is involved in leading roles of such incidents and that Fedora often is proud of cases. This doesn't mean by any means, I hate RH or I think "all @RHs are assholes". RH is a big enterprise, so they inevitably have people with all kinds of attitudes and skills on their payrole - Rest assured, the vast majority is doing an excellent job, but there are a few who do not. But ... this "UsrMove" feature ... with all due respect, I was shocked when reading it. To me, this proposal is the silliest and dumbest thing, I have ever seen being proposed in Fedora. > That said, I am eagerly awaiting your patches that make libreoffice use > FHS instead of placing everything into /usr/lib/libreoffice. Pardon, but are you expecting _me_ to do _your_ job? Should time permit, I may check which steps would be required to make libreoffice more FHS compliant, but my contingent of _spare time_, I have available for Fedora already is overdrawn.
