Ever dealt with packaging files? You tell them where to go. It's a simple manifest that says where files get unzipped and put on the filesystem.
You have zero idea WTF you're talking about.
And how does this work when you expect a binary of someone else's package in a certain location?
Are you trolling or what?
Lolz, are you joking?
No. But you seem to be. I think you have a weird sense of humor.
No I haven't dealt with packaging files. But packaging files implies that you know where your files are.
But as I stated it's not about your own files but files from someone else you rely on.
Imagine what havok you would cause when someone things it would be a great idea to put
lsorloginno longer in/binbut/sbininstead?
