Override DEFAULT_BINARY_LINK_PATH to /usr/local/bin #667

Hi, thx for providing this to ease teh dev pain 😅 For usage in our https://github.com/fsfw-dresden/usb-live-linux we want to install eclipse system-wide. sudo umake ide eclipse /opt/eclipse goes a long way to ship the beast already.. But then to get the .desktop-file working for all users, it needs to be moved from /root/.local/share/applications to /usr/local/share/applications ..

Also there seems to be no way (checked code and man page, texinfo seems absent) to override DEFAULT_BINARY_LINK_PATH to /usr/local/bin, so I'll deal with that manually for now. Best! : D

Hi. I would always caution from using umake to install system-wide, but I see the point. It's good you found a temporary solution. Let me know if you're still using umake and if you're interested in a different solution. Maybe we could add a cli flag, or a config file
