Put your stuff in /usr/{bin,lib,etc.}. The only exceptions at this time are the X implementation itself and very closely tied things such as openmotif/lesstif. If you earnestly believe your pet app has a valid reason to be in /usr/X11R6, please justify your reasoning to me. Quick list of possible suspects, based on what I have installed: (Packages with a * are excepted from this, at least for now) groff and baselayout install weird symlinks. I'd prefer to see X doing these, if they're actually necessary. People without X have no reason for those symlinks to exist. quasar fonts # qpkg -fp /usr/X11R6 -nc media-libs/nas net-irc/bitchx sys-apps/baselayout sys-apps/groff sys-apps/pcmcia-cs *x11-base/x11-drm *x11-base/xfree-drm *x11-base/xorg-x11 *x11-libs/Xaw3d *x11-libs/openmotif x11-misc/ttmkfdir x11-misc/xscreensaver Thanks for your help, --=20 Donnie Berkholz Gentoo Linux --=-1QAIB9tUxTRS2uPFRybl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBOWdzXVaO67S1rtsRAmGPAJoDTC3d/CVRbwcWp4ceMl6ApDR0BACgn598 RAhH7GxlgtOvRw+DccfnXrk= =VwlR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1QAIB9tUxTRS2uPFRybl--
