Sounds good. Please let me know if there is anything I can do upstream to help make it easier. VirtualGL and TurboVNC have both been historically distributed as enterprise products-- that is, we ship one set of binaries that runs on everything. That's where all of the /opt/VirtualGL stuff comes from. It was in part to keep certain binaries, like glxinfo, separate (by the way, the reason we included our own version of glxinfo is because, back in the day, glxinfo could not list FB Configs and we had some custom modifications to support Sun's GLP extensions, but none of that is relevant anymore, so I should probably look into no longer packaging it.) The other reason to use /opt/VirtualGL was that Sun wouldn't allow anything but system packages to install binaries under /usr, but the Linux product already had traction at that point, so I simply installed everything under /opt/VirtualGL on Solaris and put symlinks in the Linux version, so that the user could always access things under /opt/VirtualGL. That is also not really relevant anymore. It may make more sense to keep /opt/VirtualGL for our "official binaries", but for distribution-supplied binaries, you're probably better off not using it and just putting the binaries under /usr. The potential areas of conflict I see are: the fact that we install symlinks in /usr/bin (maybe solvable using alternatives-- I don't know much about that), the package name, and the docs.
