- Subject: Re: call for discussion: Standard paths for MiNT
-
- The first major decision is whether to go the BSD or the SYSV way.
-
- The SYSV solution seems to have been promoted a few times now. Let me
- just add that it may be worth to keep an eye how LINUX is doeing
- things. Among other things, there will be a port to 68k machines at
- some point, so beong compatible with that may be worth something.
-
- Not that I know what LINUX does.
-
- Later we need to decide where put other stuff. Everything not covered
- by the standard should probably go into /usr/local, but since we are
- goeing the gnu way, what about a program like gzip? And if emacs is
- goeing to be the standard editor, should it still reside in
- /usr/local? There are a zillion question like these.
