However, the best place to get DJB's opinions is http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html. Anyway, I verified with him. Basically, a binary distribution should be the equivalent of downloading the software, uncompressing it, building it w/out modification and then installing it. Which means it would break Gentoo's layout scheme and force files to be in /usr/local, as well as create /service, which breaks FHS, etc... --Jerry name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a phone: 703.599.6023 || matter of life or death... email: jerry@thehutt.org || ...It's much more important || than that!
