'make uninstall' might work if the software is sane and well-written,
and if the operator is careful.
But how do you handle upgrades? 'make uninstall' the old version, then
'make install' the new stuff? What if it's some critical piece, like
base utils or the shell, and something goes wrong in bet

I use a modified version of the Gobo hierarchy (pretty much just
keeping programs in /Programs and symlinking them to root), and I
think it's a definite improvement on using a package manager or
installing to root. It's stupid simple to set up, the shell script I
use to symlinking everything is ~20
check tinycorelinux symlinks to squashfs mounts in
/tmp/tcloop/package/ hierarchy.

Hi there,
What do you think can be the downsides of filesystem hierarchy of
Gobo Linux[0]? STALI[1] was attempting to modify default hierarchy
after all. I personaly think it's clear, evident (only problem I have
is hiding symlinks in /) and elegant. It's in a way compatible with
Unixes by symlink
