- From: davecb@yunexus.uucp (David Collier-Brown)
-
- I wonder if anything significant has changed since the August 1987 (!)
- draft pertaining to bills of materials.
- I note that at that time the BOM files resided in /usr/lib, and
- the structure seemed limited to vendor-provided utilities, not
- "layered products" or third-part products. And I note that the
- System V "install" procedures seem directed toward vendor-provided
- utilities.
-
- Has any consideration been taken of the large (indeed, **very** large)
- number of third-party products that one would normally install using
- a common mechnaism, but in a non-system directory hierarchy.
