I agree with Andrew. We have enough problems maintaining the optify hack
without having to worry about other people creating files/directories
in /opt/maemo. Consider /opt/maemo reserved for maemo-optify.
But I would encourage people to do their own optification if that is feasible.
In particular, for new apps, please avoid automatic optification and put your
files in /opt yourself. Feel free to create a different /opt direcotry
(say /opt/MaemoApp) if you want to put lots of small apps in one place.
I fully agree.
It would be helpful if tools like MADDE and QtCreator would handle this
automatically for people.
A bit harder. The developer should be aware of where the files are put
and have the control. As well because of the reasons Tim mentioned
earlier in this thread. I think creating the folder in /opt/ is a quite
easy and safe option. This applies of course mostly for new
applications. And as soon as the bug with dh_fixperms is fixed in a new
release, it is really straight forward to do that.
