Re: [trinity-devel] R14 - install to /opt or /usr ?

Nope. Not at all. Just the ones we thought would cause direct conflict during run-time. Although there was a lot of infrastructure and class renaming, many app names remain the same. If you install both desktops to /usr then one installation will overwrite the other with respect to the apps of the same name. Run-time conflicts are also avoided by the way we wrote starttde to ensure $PATH is always correct for a Trinity environment. Unless you are in total control of the target systems, or releasing your own distro where KDE4 never will be an option, just keep installing to /opt/trinity. I have been doing so now for two years and never have problems running from /opt/trinity. I keep KDE4 installed. Partly to test, partly to test potential conflicts between the two desktops. The only package I install to /usr is tqtinterface. I install all other packages to /opt/trinity. In my build scripts I install nominal docs, such as the traditional AUTHORS, COPYING, INSTALL, NEWS, TODO, jibberish documents to /usr/doc but that is all. As you have been a way for a while, we also decided as a team to name our packages using 'trinity' as part of the package name. The placement is not as important as including the name. I name all of my packages as trinity-${module}-i486-blah-blah.txz. Works for me nicely because those jibberish documents are easy to find in my /usr/doc because every single directory is named trinity-${module}. Also in my /var/log/packages history directory, I can type ls trinity-* and quickly find all of my Trinity packages. Darrell
