dbus was just an example. Right now I don't know any KDE package that would install e.g. a .service file into /usr/share/dbus-1/services and therefore have to be spread over multiple prefixes. Some GNOME packages do that, however (and some of them were broken because they used /opt/gnome/share/dbus-1/services, which is wrong...) > Does the LSB forbid to install packages outside /usr.

No, the LSB/FHS does not forbit to install packages outside /usr, but doing this forces packagers to bend the FHS specifications in sometimes extreme ways because some files *must* live in /usr because they would not work otherwise. Also, the FHS reserves /opt to add-on packages. Maybe you could consider GNOME an add-on package some years ago, but this is really obsolete now that glib2 lives in /opt/gnome/lib and e.g. hal (and therefore zypp, YaST and even KDE) depend on it. The current idea seems to be that all distro packages should have /usr as prefix, that's why /usr/X11R6 has been killed as well. (Unfortunately not complete - it should be killed completely for the next release) > The same is valid in think for kde (see above).

There are no KDE4 packages in Factory yet (at least not public). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
