Packaging Guidelines for one. My personal belief is that /opt should only be populated by the local admin, never the distro nor a vendor. Personally I do so using a scheme like /opt/$VENDOR/$PRODUCT/$RELEASE, but to my knowledge the FHS has never ratified anything like that. The FHS seems to take a rather vague stance on /opt overall IMHO. -- John Florian <john.florian@xxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
