These files aren't actually used by ports, at the moment. This means that if you area developer, using these files you can copy them to wherever you want... > For example, a substantial portion of the ports you mentioned > can be "fixed" by me re-rooting all of GNOME under /usr/local > (following KDE's lead) even though some parts of it link > against against X11 libraries (and thus should be in /usr/X11R6). I like this idea anyway. It makes life much simpiler, and also it doesn't mess with the X11 heirachy as much. At the moment /usr/local has a BSD/GNU type heirarchy and a /usr/X11R6 has the X11 style. Just because GNOME is an X11 app doesn't mean it belongs in /usr/X11R6.
