My reading of the FHS is that /usr/local is for packages compiled
|
|
and installed locally whereas /opt is for major packages that have
|
|
been packaged by the manufacturer. Thus if we use /opt/LDP we are
|
|
also expected to actually makes the package that populates a tree
|
|
structure of directories below the /opt/LDP root.

Many would expect to find a /usr/share/doc/HOWTO from the old
|
|
days so we might make a link.
|
|
|
|
Then again the /usr/share/HOWTO might contain non-LDP HOWTOs
|
|
such as those from OSWG in which case we shouldn't make links
|
|
that gives the impression LDP HOWTOs are the only ones.

That would be in line with the FHS.

It might be an idea to make allowances for /opt/OSWG appearing.

|
|
|
|
The FHS specifies the man page paths already.
