Subject: $prefix != /usr/local
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 00:49:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xntubhwefc.fsf@greed.delorie.com> (raw)
The default $prefix (/usr/local) is discouraged for GNU/Linux [1].
Which means pretty much every glibc build *must* use a --prefix=
command, and typically --prefix=/usr, despite the potential danger
thereof.
Why can't we make that the default? I'm kinda tired of typing that
over and over...
[1] It's allowed for Hurd, but maybe that's just because nobody has
realized it's also bad there?
