@Orc we don't have any terrible objections to systemd as a thing, we have great complaints with how it's been handled in many distros, and we would rather use smf. But if we have to, we will use systemd-networkd and friends, better than fucking netplan by a long shot. Fucking Ubuntu, we have compaints about that shit. Solaris only packages everything in /opt if you tell it to, cejpt for the SUNW packages, they go in there. If you want, you can absolutely bootstrap pkgsrc into /usr/pkg, and we're pretty sure if you're installing frjom IPS repos, those just go in /usr like normal. If you're talking about SVR4 packaging (pkgadd -d $PACKAGEDIR all) yeah, that goes to /opt.
@12 @Orc@chaosfem.tw I was never a fan of the SVR4 fetish of using /opt/foo /etc/opt/foo /var/opt/foo as "An approved installation location for add-on system software and applications." But you can see how you need to provide some sort of namespacing so that multiple vendors don't overwrite each other's junk.
