Per user installs?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



What if, for example, a specific user preferred an application,
say, Amarok v1.4 and yet another user prefers Amarok v2.0?

I surmise that only one package of the same application can
be installed in the /usr/share directory?

The other question is, can a per-user installation be made
available to all users from /usr/share and when the application
is started by the user could be prompted to which version
they desire without smashing the latest version which is installed
in the normal installation areas?  It is one thing to install a
per-user installation to the user's home directory, but this
could be inefficient as each user could potentially fill up
valuable disk space and in this case, it might be better to install
at /usr/share instead of each and every user's home directory?

The point is, when installing a package, does the user have
the option to choose where the package is to be installed,
and/or what mode this installation should entail so that the
above scenarios are possible?

If this is already possible, how is it done?

Thanks-
Dan
