Really?
trinity is not software locally installed by the local system admin?
/usr/local IS for software installed after the base distribution. Since
trinity is not installed by default in a lot of distros, onw should
place that sofware into /usr/local
What will you do when it is or how is distros supposed to pick it up if
it won't work when installed into /usr?
Installation into /usr _should_ be the goal not playing with
installation into /opt.
Any way it's not an issue with me as I will continue on.....onward on my
own path installing into /usr/local, since it is your way or no way.
/usr/local simplifes the install and keeps it separate from the distro
stuff (Arch soon to be my own scratch built ) and does not interfere
with QT4 and KDE4 and without all the mumbo jumbo associated with the
install into /opt. The build goes better and the install goes better.

/usr/local most certainly not. Personally i am using /usr as i have no KDE4
installed. For the others i would imagine /opt/trinity as per instructions

Isn't it easier to move to /usr from /usr/local?
A few simple sed's and the environment is fixed.
Ever look at startkde.ah or starttrinity.sh 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?
For the rest of the community -- Where are you putting tde?
/usr/local

I use /usr/ for my
packages installed from my repos. stuff in
/usr/local is things I manually install, or keep back because I need
them.
that is not a place for packages.
