Hi,
I want to minimize the number of changes for 1.0.7, in order to minimize the amount of surprises and I don't want to introduce new instabilities. But I would like to change the way the the files are installed when doing "make install". Instead of installing it by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include, etc., I'd like to have the default install put everything in /usr/local/kaffe, in a JRE-style layout. That way, people could just set JAVA_HOME to point there, and use it instead of a regular JDK or JRE. Plus I've always disliked how the kaffe install places those "java" and "javac" wrappers in /usr/local/bin. Also, I've been bit a few times by kaffe versions I've been working on accidentally dynamically loading the kaffe.org libs installed in /usr/local/lib instead of the libs I intended. Is anybody opposed to this? It is breaking with tradition somewhat, and it's for the upcoming release, so I figured it would be best to ask. It'll also impact the Debian and RPM packages. Cheers, - Jim
