/usr should IMHO be reserved for packages that are part of a
distribution and I did not really aim for inclusion into distros, just
for a convenient way to grab one/some RPMs, install them and be ready to
run examples.
Anyway, I would not object to using /opt instead, but be less happy
about /usr.

yes, I think so. Maybe we should add a "osg-" or even "opensg-" prefix
to the names of the binaries ? scons-addons and scons-build would end up
in <prefix>/share/OpenSG/scons-addons and
<prefix>/share/OpenSG/scons-build respectively.

Good point. Is this the usual practice on RPM using distros (I'm using
debian myself, so I'd need some input here) ?

I've looked at the FHS (<http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html>),
but I can not read a definite statement either way from it. What is the
practice used by fedora, opensuse, mandriva ?

        Thanks,
                Carsten
