Aye. > ObPedantic: /opt is specified in the FHS, so *all* apps are required to > respect the FHS. :) :) True, largely because the FHS is more relaxed about subdirectories under /opt, as in: "The structure of the directories below /opt/<provider> is left up to the packager of the software". It's still better if apps follow the naming conventions of the rest of the FHS, even under their own subdirectories in /opt (libs in /opt/.../lib, images in /opt/.../share, etc.) but if they mix it up, or just dump all their files in one directory, at least it's one directory off to the side in /opt.
