IMHO relative symlinks are asking for trouble. Quite often '../' constructs break on fs borders. qmake builds are known to suffer from this. The argument with chroots and absolute symlinks is valid as well, so one needs to weigh how often one installs in chroots and accesses the files w/o checking vs how often people install parts on different partitions, NFS storage due to bad planning or due to low space constraints. Corner case vs corner case. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
