> Well, kinda hoping for a unified "ports" collection (_I_ certainly prefer > the name "opt", as do the NetBSD folks I've asked so far... :-) I'm not sure I do. /opt and /usr/opt have very definite Sun-ish connotations for me, given that Sun was the first I knew to use that organizational hierarchy, and they used it for something rather different than /usr/ports (similar, but still different). Hence, I always preferred to just avoid any potential confusion by giving the ports collection its own place to live. I considered but rejected /opt and /usr/opt as candidates when I first wrote that file. Jordan
