Tech Board met again today and agreed on: - Allow .desktop files to be installed outside /opt. This is the only exception needed, and persia has a potential workaround for Maverick. - In Natty, we'll modify Quickly, cdbs, python-support, and related packages to support installation in /opt. - For Maverick, accept that .pyc files and version symlinks won't be generated for Python libraries. - For Maverick, ARB will perform manual package fixes on proposed applications, to install in /opt and load libraries from /opt. - Binaries only in /opt (no exceptions for Maverick), will not be in $PATH. - Official install location is /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/<packagename> (with version number, i.e. "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/foo-1.5")
