okay, I got this right this time.
What are everyone's thoughts on including a warning and forced
confirmation when a user goes to "make install" an application, be
it downloaded from cpan or elsewhere?
Something like, "you are running make install, are you REALLY sure
you want to install this application system wide? If you aren't
sure, then CTRL + C.", or, make reallywantoinstall, etc.
That seems to make unwarranted assumptions about the scope of the
installation.
Why are you against installing Cat apps in the first place? It's my
usual approach. Then I just deploy the local-lib tree containing lib/
and bin/ and it Just Works.
