A factor here is that most distributions will backup anything there into local.lrp, which doubles up your space usage. The lrp file format prevents many of the cleanup issues that led to a filesystem standard being attempted in the first place, so I don't see an issue with package developers making everything they do act like it's part of the distribution (or making everything live in one dir, for that matter). -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
