Okay, I traced it to this point. I was only wondering if I REALLY can move the binaries somewhere, where they may be reached by standard PATH variable mean. I was affraid that the dns binaries (for example) may have hardcoded locations of the daemontools binaries (for security, for example). If you say I can copy them, I believe you. :-) > the djbdns package you can put wherever you want by modifying the > "conf-home" file before compiling it, although that will probably change > in the future sometime whenever there's another release. > > note that i'm not recommending you do anything. i support the /package > and /command ideas. but you're welcome to do as you wish. I am not sure which approach is better. Use your own directory structure or try to conform FHS... I administer another system (SunOS) where, over years, I created non-standard directory structure... Now I regret. But, on the other side it's a little easier to backup related data and binaries with this structure... But on the other side... :) Anyway, I believe it's good to keep the / directory as clean as possible.
