Description cx405 2010-10-16 15:52:10 UTC

Does anyone understand the purpose of this?
Why is binary installed into /opt instead of standard /bin?

Reproducible: Always




It should be installed into /bin or atleast the symlink be present in /bin

That's exactly where binary-only applications are to be installed.  See http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/filesystem/index.html
