[one-users] Why is the OpenNebula 1.4 binary package for Ubuntu in system-wide mode?

[Jaime Melis]

Hi,
actually, Jeff is right. Ubuntu has its own rules about where should the
files go, that's why the OpenNebula 1.4 Ubuntu package is in system-wide
mode. The reason why we changed to self-contained for 2.0 is simply because
since we are doing the packaging ourselves, it was easier to do it in the
self-contained mode.

Nevertheless we are going to follow Jeff's advice and for the next beta
releases and the final release we will create the Ubuntu package in
system-wide mode.

cheers,
Jaime
