/me throws in /usr/share/layman OTOH, I really think /usr/local/layman is OK as long as it's runtime-generated and not added by the ebuild. That should satisfy bug 253725, and prevent another painful location move. It also makes sense from the "/usr/local is user/admin domain" since only running the layman tool will cause those directories to be created. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
