According to Antoine Beaupre: > Ideally, /usr/local should go away. Packages should install in /usr by > default.

If you're advocating something like the FHS used on Linux (which put things like gnome and the kitchen-sink in /usr/bin), then forget it. I don't want FreeBSD become another Debian-like monster. The FHS way complicates life far too much, forces one to have a far too big /usr and is a PITA to deal with. Been there, Done that. Got the scars even. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 5.0-CURRENT #80: Sun Jun 4 22:44:19 CEST 2000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
