Sure.
1. We intend to continue to maintain compatibility with the FHS, but will
be moving the includes out of /usr/include directly to /usr/include/kde,
and /usr/share directly to /usr/share/kde as allowed by the FHS, and as
Stephan Kulow's debian packages are doing.
2. I am perfectly willing to get together with Duncan and anyone else who
wants to make sure that things are compatible. But I *cannot* violate Red
Hat policy, and one of those policies is to be FHS where at all possible.
Stephan is currently (or was the last time I talked) using this
configuration:
kde_htmldir=/usr/doc/kde/HTML \
kde_appsdir=/usr/share/applnk \
kde_icondir=/usr/share/icons \
kde_sounddir=/usr/share/sounds \
kde_datadir=/usr/share/apps \
kde_locale=/usr/share/locale \
kde_cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin \
kde_confdir=/etc/kde \
kde_mimedir=/usr/share/mimelnk \
kde_toolbardir=/usr/share/toolbar \
kde_wallpaperdir=/usr/share/wallpapers \
kde_bindir=/usr/bin \
kde_partsdir=/usr/lib/parts
This is probably what I will go with. Discussion is welcome of course,
but this seems to be a compliant scheme that also works well.
