As mentioned in a private mail to Klaus:
I tend to think /usr(/local)/sbin and manual page section 8 would be more appropriate for vdr than /usr(/local)/bin and section 1.
So, what do people think, would something like the attached patch be a good idea? It might break some setups, so it clearly needs to be done during a development cycle if ever. While sort of cosmetic, I think this would be a good thing, and in the series of making vdr feel "more mature" like someone mentioned in a recent "don't run as root" thread.
I support Udo's opinion too. We have a vdr running at work. It starts up as a daemon on boot. So this would match your argumentation. But we found out, that for cutting, it is easier to login to the vdr server and start a special vdr with softdevice(xv) output and (optional) streamdev-client input. The output is forwarded sufficiently fast via ssh-XForwarding in a Gigabit network. With this application in mind, I vote for not moving vdr to /usr/sbin.
Anyway, I also have my own installation method, and can handle the move on my side, too.
So long,
