what do you think of this concept?
is it nice or naff? sounds like the way 'program files' is in windows, but with some improvements. phoenix already comes in this format, and so do a few others although they are usually made available as normal style rpms that install into normal directories too.
Purdy slick! That's about the way I do my own apps. (See

That will keep all the paths straight, no matter where you choose to put the package.
With C++ packages, I set up a central directory where all the helper files are kept, usually named after the package itself.
Unfortunately, it won't work with "official" Deb packages, as they have some very definite ideas as to where they want your stuff located.
