Gentoo & FHS http://www.gentoo.org/ & http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ rather than opening multiple bug reports i thought i would just file this all under one ... ill add more comments as my box emerges more packages and i can check out where it installs stuff

Thanks! Most of these look like genuine bugs. CCing Azarah for baselayout stuff. I'm confused by the first entry, a "[" binary? We do violate the FHS when it comes to DJB / daemontools stuff -- it's just too painful for users if we don't use /service.
[from http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.4.html] The requirement for the [ and test commands to be included as binaries (even if implemented internally by the shell) is shared with the POSIX.2 standard.
Comment #1: /usr/bin/test (part of sh-utils) are there as required. '[' is provided by bash/sh (where sh is a link to /bin/bash) as required. Comment #2: It should be /bin/hostname now, but things have changed recently, so it could be that for our current stage1, it is still /usr/bin/hostname.
Whoops, didnt read http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.4.html properly. Should /usr/bin/test also be installed as /usr/bin/[ ?
Comment #8: Will be addressed in next baselayout.
Comment #22 should read: Should /usr/bin/test also be installed as /usr/bin/[ as well?
i have no idea wtf a [ binary is ;) i'm just going by the fact Gentoo has no [ binary ... as for just symlinking [ to test ... i dont *think* that will work because if you issue the cmd '[ 1 == 0 ]' then you'll be bassing "1 == 0 ]" to test which will be incorrect ... although i have no idea ;)
nosferatu bin # ln -s test [ nosferatu bin # [ -f /etc/hosts ] && echo yes yes nosferatu bin # [ -f /etc/hostss ] && echo yes nosferatu bin # It actually do work :P Do you have access to Redhat/Mandrake/Debian to have a look ?
./[: /etc/hostss: binary operator expected nosferatu bin # ./[ -f /etc/hostss && echo yes nosferatu bin # ./[ -f /etc/hosts && echo yes yes nosferatu bin # Bleah, maybe not. Guess it was bash who override things.

good job, spanky :)
#4: grub's menu.lst has to be on the boot partition I think. And since our /boot isn't mounted by default, a symlink from /etc wuoldn't really work, it'd be broken most of the time. Ideas? #16: I have a bug about on it on my list, working to fix.
app-text/pinfo-0.6.5_p2-r1 contains a proper fix.

Dan, is it possible to bring qt-docs into FHS compliance? William, can you check the vmware-workstation compliance, please?
lcd4linux seems to behave fine, though
At first I was baffeled by vmware-workstation putting anything in /share but looking at the ebuild I see that if any of: $KDE2DIR, $KDE3DIR, $KDEDIR isn't set it could do that. could someone point me to info on what the proper use of $KDE*DIR is I'll fix it.
KDE2DIR and KDE3DIR are deprecated, and were never very officially supported. /usr is now in KDEDIRS. Meaning, that you can (and should) just install files (menu items etc) in the right place under the /usr main hierarchy and kde will pick them up.
qt-docs: it's a bug where it puts things into /. Several people have reported that, both with qt and qt-docs, and it drove me mad for a while because I couldn't reproduce it. I never did, but people stopped reporting it. Did you hit this bug, seemant? If so you could be of great help in debugging it :-) Just look at its src_install, I can't see how things can end in /...
OK, I've fixed the vmware issue. Committed.
closing this bug then, coz I think all the issues are sorted. note to danarmak: the qt/qt-docs issue never bit me at all. possibly they tried to install qt-docs without qt installed? thanks much to SpanKY :)
