Re: Debian and SimplyGNUstep

[Chad Hardin]

Thanks for the info.

I really don't think that you can shove the GNUstep file layout into a 
FHS.  It has to be its own thing.
Maybe...Maybe...Someday Debian will have it's GNUstep packages 
installed into more sensible locations.
Until then though, I'm going down my own road.

The SGSTEP repository should be ready before Monday.
