Do you really want PublicCD 6.2.1 replacement for the QNX 6.3.0 ?

This monday QOR Team started QOpenCD Project ! Our goal - to create the PublicCD (which right now almost dead) replacement for the QNX 6.3.0. Already available some packages to test, a much more to come
I need anyone’s comment about path to which all packages will be installed. Let it be /opt or change it to /usr ?
Why I am asking about that ? gcc/g++ in QNX 6.3.0 have no default pathes nor to the /usr/include, nor to the /opt/include, this cause some problems with compilation. But most projects contains -I/usr/include by default. Links to the /usr from /opt sometimes not created, due to bugs in packager utility. The same story with /usr/lib vs. /opt/lib. So what is better keep 3rd party packages in the /opt or change to the /usr ? Packager bugs I have described in the qnx.development_tools newsgroup.
Now I want to ask which packages you want to be added to the QOpenCD. Here the list of almost ready packages, in addition to packages, listed above:

What packages need to be added to this list ? Any comments are welcome !!!
Some cool packages would be any kind of movie player stuff, be it codecs for the QNX media player, or a nice version of VLC, Mplayer etc with support for as many formats as possible.
A simple webpage mike.qnx.org.ru/qopencd is done. I’m redo all my already ported packages to the /usr (was in /opt). And I decided still using the qpr format and QNX Installer … at least for 6.3. Because right now we have no a good packager/etc replacements.
When packages are placed in /usr most problems are gone, except one - no default path in gcc/g++ to the /usr/include and /usr/lib. But I think it’s not a problem at all
CFLAGS="-I/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib" ./configure - and all works !
Pathes to the /usr have everything except the GCC.
Maybe better to use X.org instead of dead Xfree86 ?
Definitely.
I downloaded it a few months ago but never got time to build it.
Since X.org is a fork from an old XFree86 4.x where QNX 4 and 6 were supported, you should be able to build it with minimal changes…
I sent my XFree86 4.x QNX 6 build notes to dmi a while ago, so maybe he can do it?
Based on what timeslice? IF you paid for it your should have higher priority unless of course you are willingly giving up PC time by going to sleep or are waiting for somebody’s reply.
It would be nice, but … at this time I am only spending my money to this project, with zero income btw, I have my main work, so 12 hours per days I am busy with it. So please be patient
