https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D225378 --- Comment #13 from Jan Beich <jbeich@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Gleb Popov from comment #12) I disagree. Patching is correct but suboptimal. /usr/local in XDG is based on Linux FHS aka GNU hier(7). /usr/local should *not* be modified by system package manager. NetBSD made PkgSrc compatible = by changing LOCALBASE default while FreeBSD takes advantage of ambiguity/mess under POLA banner. FreeBSD hier(7) cannot guarantee /usr/local exists outside of ports(7) cont= ext. Nowadays, /usr/local is semi-standardized (used by base system but not documented in hier(7) yet) as LOCABLASE environment variable with "sysctl user.localbase" fallback. FreeBSD equivalent of /usr/local in GNU hier(7) would be any custom non-conflicting top-level directory like /local. Given FreeBSD already uses "local" to denote site-local configuration (e.g., rc.conf vs. rc.conf.local) top-level /local can be a natural extension even if not defined by hier(7).= =20 See also https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html https://github.com/netbsd/pkgsrc/commit/41ed126f8745 https://wiki.freebsd.org/WarnerLosh/UsrLocal --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
