"rar" and netscape plugins also are put in /opt (these are the ones I've seen so far). The reason I asked is that, whith other distros, I used to be able to decide myself where things were going to be installed (I tend to install prograns from sources when possible, even if the distro I'm using is providing a - more or less good - packaging system: I think this gives you the best control over what you're doing). > Portage doesnt know what files the package contains until you build and > install the package.
