Archers, All,
Currently, Arch installs trinity to /opt/trinity. Personally, I would like to
move the default install to /opt/tde. Two reasons: (1) most important -- less
typing; (2) the tradition of the install being in /opt/kde, why not standardize
around /opt/tde?
Sure - if it bothers you that much :-)
For the rest of the community -- Where are you putting tde? It would just make
sense to set a community-wide standard. Yes, I know that the location is
irrelevant and can be obtained by the standard environment files, but we
recently had a rebuild of 3.5.12 that moved from /opt/kde to /opt/kde3. That's
fine, but depending upon the repo you hit to pull files from, your system would
break due to install location differences in the various packages.
I don't have any hard feelings either way for any
single location, but if it
is all the same, then if possible, I would like to see a standard that all
packagers could reference. Of course you don't have to use it, but if there is a
standard install, the balance of builds will migrate to it over time.
What says the team?
/opt/trinity
/opt/tde
/opt/tde_ver (ver being a 2 or 3-digit version: eg. 13 or 313)
/opt/other_suggestions?
Personally for me, /opt/tde works :)
(/opt/trinity is probably my fault on arch anyway :)
from filesystem heirarchy standard
/opt is reserved for the installation of add-on application software packages.
A package to be installed in /opt must locate its static files in a separate /
opt/<package> or /opt/<provider> directory tree, where <package> is a
name that
describes the software package and <provider> is the provider's LANANA
registered name.
I want to avoid anything in /usr/ OR /usr/local. esepcailly because
this will lead to overwriting of custom built kde4 apps ( which I have
).
I do not want to use /opt/tde_ver/ - this is why we have package
managers, so we don't need to maintain separate folders for each
version. let pacman handle the versions :-)
/opt/tde /opt/trinity either one is fine.
