"third party" packages are supposed to go in /opt by the FHS guidelines, under a subdirectory that is either a provider name or a package name, either one should be registered at www.lanana.org. LSB references these, so those are also the rules for LSB-conforming packages. (For the LSB project itself, /opt/lsb, since "lsb" is our reserved provider name). "the system administrator" gets to have /usr/local, which I take to mean built-from-source stuff as someone else said on this thread. All this is just about avoidance of possible namespace clashes, because there's no canonical list you can consult which would make a statement like "/usr/lib/libfoo.so is reserved to Fedora on Fedora Core systems, but nobody is using /usr/lib/libbar.so so that's safe to install, and once you take it, nobody else can ave that file name". So the FHS guys decided to do it in reserved chunks of the filesystem namespace, instead. -- mats _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
