What is /opt historic for? I usually install 3rd party software there.
- JoshTriplett 15y ago"stuff outside the domain of the package manager". Almost entirely redundant with /usr/local, except that /usr/local works for relatively well-behaved software that uses the standard directories like bin and lib, while /opt mostly contains software so broken that it wants to install in one big directory named after the software package.
