Re: Request for update and/or release of GDL2 and Renaissance

[James Carthew]

Frankly, I don't give a damn about filesystem layout. The only thing I care about with GNUstep is applications. Apps are what matters. That and API completeness. Get me a finished simplewebkit with table support so I can boot into the GNUstep desktop and use it without the taint of kde/gnome applications and then we'll talk about filesystem cruft.

Name it as you like, I call it like a "compromise", which works well
for me and OpenBSD packages. And besides the bundles and
Frameworks, its nearly FHS. I don't know if you have found the
fs layout file already, but its part of the make port, the file can
be found here [1]. Since FHS doesn't has a meaning
on OpenBSD at all, I also have no real reason even trying to adhe to it ;)
For me, man 7 hier [2] is more important.
Maybe its worth for you to take a look at the altlinux GNUstep RPMs that
you can find here [3]. I cannot really figure out what filesystem layout they
are using there, therefore CC'ing the maintainer, or at least one of them.

For the case the FHS layout is too much of a pain, does
Debian/Ubuntu allows similar compromises like I did for OpenBSD?

cheers,
