ChinnoDogWhy isn't there a file system location where I can mount my own software? I want an /opt that isn't managed by packages.19:16
waltmanother than /usr/local?20:02
ChinnoDog/usr/local already has a bunch of stuff in it. Clearly it also is managed by package managers.20:16
ChinnoDogBased on what I have read /usr/local is meant for packages only installed on the local machine. If you wanted to network mount a directory for packages to be shared across all workstations it would be /opt, except that since there are directories in there installed by apt packages it wouldn't work in Ubuntu.20:17
