As alternatives are something that... "varies" at system run time, and is basically internal program state, it would make sense to put it in /var instead of /usr. Perhaps /var/lib/exherbo/alternatives or /var/lib/eclectic/alternatives? But yeah, I do like the idea of moving alternatives out of /etc. -- Calvin Walton <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
