From d17eec3f89aa7a3770f95357b120782dae6e72af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Campbell Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 12:47:54 +0000 Subject: tools+stubdom: install under /usr/local by default. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is the defacto (or FHS mandated?) standard location for software built from source, in order to avoid clashing with packaged software which is installed under /usr/bin etc. I think there is benefit in having Xen's install behave more like the majority of other OSS software out there. The major downside here is in the transition from 4.2 to 4.3 where people who have built from source will innevitably discover breakage because 4.3 no longer overwrites stuff in /usr like it used to so they pickup old stale bits from /usr instead of new stuff from /usr/local. Packages will use ./configure --prefix=/usr or whatever helper macro their package manager gives them. I have confirmed that doing this results in the same list of installed files as before this patch was applied. The hypervisor remains in /boot/ and there is no intention to move it.
