Re: gnome-lib and Solaris 7x86

[Adam Morley <axm135 po cwru edu>]

install it in /opt
rm -rf the files in /opt
symlink /opt/whatever to /usr/local
re add in /tmp/foo by doing pkgadd -R /tmp/foo (or some other temp space)
copy the files from /tmp/foo/opt/whatever to /usr/local (i used tar, 
package wasnt that big/complex)
make sure there are only thing which wanted to go to /opt/, not other stuff 
which wants to go to /etc or something
now remove the package from /tmp/foo

i personally am very bitter when a package doesnt spacify a choice for its 
install path.  when i make packages, they default install in /usr/local, 
but can be installed whereever you choose.  why more people dont do this i 
dont understand.  and if i have /etc/ stuff too, then ill either put it in 
/usr/local/etc or make a configuration files package too.

thats all..
