[tde-devels] Re: Living in /opt

Are there plans to get TDE out of /opt and back into /usr? The topic was discussed a decade ago: https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1934 For the past year or so that I have tried to return to TDE, I keep running into nuance issues. Things that motivate me to avoid TDE. Most of these speed bumps are caused by environment variables, mostly XDG related. I remember at the time everybody working on starttde trying to anticipate the many ways living in /opt could break and to avoid conflicts with KDE. My guess is many TDE users do not see these issues because they do not have a multi-user system with multiple desktop environments installed. Likely many to most TDE users are like other DE users -- just stick to familiar territory and ignore other DEs and potential conflicts. I think the easiest approach is renaming binaries with a tde- prefix. The MATE folks did this many years ago and continue the convention. I do not have a full TDE install, but on my system I found 30 files in /opt/trinity/bin that have the same file name in KDE. I know there are more because, for example, I do not have tdegames installed. Anyway, just curious, nothing else.
