Hello Raoul,
Usually, /usr/local/ is the prefix for user-compiled software. But it doesn't really matter.
/usr/local suffers from being shared among all the user-compiled stuff. With his approach of installing it into /opt/enigma, he can just rm that dir later on (for example when the Ubuntu enigma package is updated to the Debian unstable one :-)). A different, IMHO nicer, solution would be to install with --prefix=/usr/local/stow/enigma and then use stow to link it into /usr/local. Removing then is calling stow with the remove option and killing the directory. Or you just build your own packages. It's not particularly difficult, unless you're trying hard to re-use as much as possible of the existing system. For Ubuntu, he can maybe just use the packages from Debian unstable (http://packages.debian.org/enigma/) or at least download the sources and compile them for Ubuntu himself; that should work without user interaction. best regards, Erich Schubert -- erich@(mucl.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ To understand recursion you first need to understand recursion. //\ Wo befreundete Wege zusammenlaufen, da sieht die ganze Welt für V_/_ eine Stunde wie eine Heimat aus. --- Herrmann Hesse _______________________________________________ Enigma-devel mailing list Enigma-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/enigma-devel
