Is SCC an »add-on software«? As I understand it, "add-on" refers to software that is not installed as a Fedora package, that is a tarball or some other kind of package that you download from a third-party website. That's what the generic SCC package is. Although it's distributed as an RPM package in this case, it's not a Fedora package, so it belongs in /opt. When you package SCC for Fedora it becomes a part of Fedora and is no longer an "add-on", so then its files shall be placed in /usr/bin, /etc/scc and /var/lib/scc (not /var/scc). Björn Persson
