I suggest that we create whatever [empty] directory structure FHS specifies. FHS 2.0 specifies the following directories: /etc/opt /opt/bin /opt/doc /opt/include /opt/info /opt/lib /opt/man /var/opt There are also any package specific /etc/opt/package/, /opt/package/, etc. but those aren't our responsibility. The #3 draft for fhs 2.1 appears to say the same thing. I should add that in addition the rationale difference (/usr/local doesn't actually have a rationale while /opt's rationale says it's historically for the installation of "add-on" software), the chapter on the file system seems to say that /usr/local is shareable while /opt is not. -- Raul
