Description Matt Taylor 2002-12-14 16:16:03 UTC
the unace ebuild installs the unace binary into /opt/bin/.  I for one don't have
/opt/bin in my PATH, nor do I want a /opt/bin directory.  I think a better
solution would be to install into /opt/unace/ and add a env.d entry like rar
does, or symlink the binary into /usr/bin/

unace is just 1 file that is why it was put into /opt/bin 
 
also Gentoo utilizes /opt/bin for this *exact* purpose ... when we have a binary pkg that 
really only installs 1 file, we install it into /opt/bin rather than some useless tree in 
/opt/unace 
 
as for /opt/bin not being in PATH, it *is* in your PATH ... just review /etc/env.d/00basic 
... if you dont have lines that add /opt/bin to your PATH/ROOTPATH then you should 
upgrade your baselayout
