Basically having to break out applications into FHS pathing when it's something like a ruby application that is all in on directory normally. Putting it in /opt/application_name or /srv/appname is pretty typical in the field. Doing that in Fedora is a sin. The people who package things like redmine or mediawiki spend more time making symlinks and debugging pathing issues than actually being able to use the software. (At least when I maintained a few web apps, that was how I felt). I don't love the all-in-one container style deployment, but I think it's the least-worst way to deploy many types of applications. > >> Also, sometimes developers/deployments need multiple versions of things >> installed. >> Is there a an effort that complements this one on the policy/non-technical >> side? > > Sort of.
