Is there anyway to specify to the gentoo xorg-server package that you
want it installed in /usr/X11R6 once more instead of under /usr?

Under /usr/X11R6 I can have several copies... Generic, CVS and old
working etc... Moving it to /usr has meant I can't do that any more.
And makes debugging problems a real pain.

I didn't see why it was moved... Could we at least have it as an option?

TIA

Hamish.

Hi,
/usr/X11/ is a link to ../usr and belongs to "x11-base/xorg-x11" not
xorg-server (all ~x86 system here). All this with modular-X.
For more info check: x-modular.eclass & xorg-server/xorg-x11 ebuilds.
IMHO this could be done using EXTRA_ECONF"--suffix=/usr/X11" emerge ...
-a (check the syntax here).
But using this only for one/two packages probably will break
compatibility with the other xorg sub-packages (unless quite a number of
additional links/hacks are made).
Search/check for older xorg/XFree versions, there *was* such layout.
But i won't recommend trying this to anyone.
