<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I am not convinced of the need for this change; firstly because it's not<br>
clear that CWB is more appropriately labelled "add-on software" than<br>
"manual installation of system administrators" (clearly it is manually<br>
installed and clearly it's sysadmins who do it!); secondly because a quick<br>
look around the webs suggests that, in any case, the distinction between<br>
/opt and /usr/local is not so clear cut.</blockquote><div>To add my $.02 to this discussion: it's common that sites have /usr/local</div><div>as a network share that only site admins can write to</div><div>(two places where I've been had a central NFS mount on /usr/local and</div>
<div>one had an AFS share there), so if I were to install CWB from .rpm/.deb,</div><div>so it may be more friendly towards some users to have it install in /usr or /opt.</div><div>(I install from sources, where it goes, and *should* go, into /usr/local).</div>
