I didn't do the change yet, I'm working on some other stuff.
Defining BINDIR and SBINDIR makes no sense outside of the specific build 
script, because they're package specific.

Let's continue this discussion on the mailinglist, there's too much talk 
about things which could interest others.

I mean that we could pre-define them, so most packages would just
copy their executables to $BINDIR or $SBINDIR and their documentation
to $DOCDIR.

What is the English word for "Denkfehler" ? Damned! Whatever..

You have a "Denkfehler" Friedl:

$BINDIR/$SBINDIR are different for every package, e.g.:

$PACKAGEDIR/openssh/usr/bin
$PACKAGEDIR/bind/usr/bin
$PACKAGEDIR/somethingelse/bin
$PACKAGEDIR/<Package Name>/usr/bin

$DOCDIR is a static path, which is the same for all packages.

Or am I now totally wrong? I didn't have a beer yet, so it could be. ;-)

Exactely what I'm talking about, maybe I was not precise enough.
Every time we call a build script we can set
   BINDIR  = PACKAGEDIR/<Package Name>/usr/bin and
   SBINDIR = PACKAGEDIR/<Package Name>/usr/sbin
before calling this script. As every build script includes
the settings file this logic would fit best there.

Aaaah, now it's clear.;-)
I'm not sure if it makes much sense, depending on the package the 
binaries are in different directories (e.g. /bin or /usr/bin) and then 
it would just cause confusion.

Do others have an opinion about this?

Hmmmm...why was I thinking that /bin and /usr/bin are the same anyways?
Maybe I mixed it up with the intial ramdisk.

PS: Changed subject because we are already off the orginal topic.
