According to the packaging standards in the Wiki, /usr/lib/{pkg} is for "Modules, plugins, etc.", /opt/{pkg} is for "Large self-contained packages such as Java, etc." (Which this program is not, I would argue), and /usr/share/{pkg} is for "Application data". I would not be against moving icecream's files (including the binaries) into /usr/share/icecream, but I am not moving them to /opt/ because icecream isn't large enough to warrant that. Many users choose to have /usr/ reside on a filesystem optimized for quick binary and library access. /opt/ is not often given its own "faster" filesystem. I think it benefits the most users to keep it somewhere under /usr/. otooshmidt: You are welcome to fork or modify this package and put files in /opt/ . No one is stopping you.

ottoschimidt: sure, and this is a package that is managed by the pacman - there's no reason it should be different from other packages, which install to /usr. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#Directories

lucasdemarchi: /opt is for optional (custom) packages.. no? and why should I not let them in there?

lucasdemarchi commented on 2012-06-18 13:21 (UTC)

ottoshmidt: you should never let /opt/ in AUR packages. /usr/lib is not only for libraries.

ottoshmidt commented on 2012-06-18 08:38 (UTC)

why is prefix /usr/lib/icecream and not /opt/icecream. Generally, /usr/lib contains libraries not binaries.

@Luigi_Panache: you are right, this package was created because aur/icecream wasn't being maintained. Now that you updated it, I can drop icecream1 ;)

I meant... I think icecream1 was created because the previous maintainer of this package was not updating it, no? Now that it is, we could drop the other one

Sorry about that, fixed it now! And icecream1 is also up-to-date, but does not support systemd as well as regular arch init.
