Hi all, sorry if this has been discussed before, but I really like Debian's way of using /etc/alternatives as a place for variable symlinks. Also, as far as I understand the FHS, "/usr/local/bin" should be the place where to install binaries to anyway, not "/usr/bin", right? So I'd probably suggest a package to install as follows: /opt/package/ /opt/package/bin/ /opt/package/bin/executable /opt/etc/packagerc /usr/local/bin/exectuable -> /etc/alternatives/executable /etc/alternatives/executable -> /opt/package/bin/executable Sorry if this is a dumb idea or has been discussed before - I just joined the list. -Jan -- Jan Schaumann http://www.netmeister.org
