gnome moved to /usr. I just care less if it is in /usr or /opt, but I don't want it to be in double place. so, to check if everthing went smooth, I checked /opt/gnome for leftovers with:
find /opt/gnome -print0 | xargs -0 pacman -Qo
many 'No package owns', nothing to worry about. but two derelicts: gconf and gnome-backgrounds
first, gconf. while all files went in /usr correctly, there is some 'double' (symlink):
...
usr/bin/
usr/bin/gconftool-2
...
opt/gnome/bin/
opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2
opt/
opt/gnome/
...
from http://www.archlinux.org/packages/files/3138/
why so?
also, gnome-backgrounds has not been moved yet?
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/files/6431/
last, I use banshee, and I had to -R it, then -S again, but:
checking package integrity...
error: archive banshee-0.12.1-1.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted
had to
rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/banshee-0.12.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
pkgrel not updated?
no harm wanted, just wondering

To know recursion, you must first know recursion.

Looks like I forgot to update pkgrel for banshee, and forgot to commit gnome-backgrounds completely. The /opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2 symlink is intentional to make sure old packages that install to /opt/gnome keep working. Many install scriptlets call it with the full path.

okay, thanks for the clarification!

While we are at it, what's the reasoning behind this change, JGC?
-edit-
Ah, found some brief explanation on the ML.

It doesn't explain the reasons behind the move. It just acknowledges the fact of moving.

Having a split GTK/scrollkeeper/gnome prefix makes things problematic, I'm always moving files around, in case of GTK plugins, I'm even symlinking files to both prefixes to make sure they work. Another thing is that horrible gnome-common pkg that needs to go.
