I don't think anyone's asked this yet: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Do we NEED to deprecate /bin,/sbin,/usr/sbin,/lib ? I realize that |
| 13 |
udev/kmod/systemd are moving, but there isn't anything in particular |
| 14 |
that would require everything else to move, is there? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I know that there was a compatibility-symlink discussion and in general |
| 17 |
it was thought that symlinks would be a bad idea.. but we could, for |
| 18 |
anything that would be required in /bin,/sbin for mdev AND /usr/bin for |
| 19 |
the new udev,etc (assuming there would actually be overlap, which I |
| 20 |
expect there wouldn't be) make the /usr/bin version be a symlink and |
| 21 |
keep /bin,/sbin,etc. around.. It would work at least as a temporary |
| 22 |
measure, until the new udev/kmod/systemd becomes the de-facto default? |

Side note - if /lib is getting moved, does that mean /lib/modules is |
| 27 |
moving to /usr/lib/modules too? So kernel modules are no longer on root? |
