Just out of curiosity, if I compile a package I want to have for the most part in /opt/ is it suggested that I move the /bin/myprogram to /opt/bin/myprogram and symlink it back to /bin/myprogram ? even if its a few hundred K ? mainly to save the precious space for other programs that might not be able to be moved?

Would the same go for the /libs/mylibs ?

Cheers
