[Mentalunix-developers] MPKG and Filesystem stuff

[Knie D. <nul...@ya...>]

Ok, i just skimmed through the FHS stuff.
everything that is install in /usr will be system
specific.  /usr/local will be all programs,
applications, etc. So, /usr/local will have games,
word processers, etc, etc, etc.   As for stuff like
kde and gnome and stuff, i think we should go with
either /usr/local or /opt.  the reason being taht /opt
is the default that kde set up, but at the same time,
i think that it should be seen as something along the
lines of X. However, I'm not sure if those kind of
apps shoudl be kept local, or if one was to upgrade a
system, should be over written (assuming /usr and
/usr/local are on diff partitions.)  Anyways, i have
to go get food.  Ill write up some basic OS plans
tonight, and send it off.


Also, real quick.  I think that we should find a way
to use md5 sums and pgp sigs to validate packages, 
Ill explain more later.
