Hi; I just emerged xmahjongg, which inherits 'games'. I was sort of suprised to see it installing binaries in /usr/games/bin, and support files in /usr/share/games/. Is this FHS compliant? Is it the new way? The convention in the past has been to install the binary in /usr/bin, and support files in /usr/lib/<package>, and is still documented this way in the dev howto. (well, more or less..) This is the first game I have emerged under gentoo doing this, so I felt compelled to ask:) Paul
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.3.html /usr/games is for games & educational binaries http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.11.html game data stored in /usr/share/game is purely static (it is) we are changing the way app-games installs to fix the bloat problem binaries go into /usr/games/bin and game libraries go into /usr/games/lib
