Jordan Hubbard?  Former leader of FreeBSD?  Yes, all the BSD's have /usr/local as default, so do the GNU standards.  It is pretty much just a Debian/Ubuntu thing to stick it in /usr.  And with the new --prefix support, it is easy enough to set a --prefix option for those platforms.  But with --prefix support, it is also easy to set it to /usr/local if necessary.



Remember that guy a year back who had a compile farm with every version of unix known to man?  Once --prefix support is in, I'll ask him to test again.  That was the big thing he wanted.
Cavemen in bearskins invaded the ivory towers of Artificial Intelligence.  Nine months later, they left with a baby named newLISP.  The women of the ivory towers wept and wailed.  \"Abomination!\" they cried.

Yes, when he moved to apple to look after the BSD core I emailed him to tell him he should bundle newLISP along with all the other languages that are pre-installed... :) He kindly wrote back with his opinions after installing it. Well, it's probably just as well it's not pre-installed - it would probably be version 8.7 or something! :)
