+Title: /usr merge for systemd users |

+In the latter half of 2023, systemd will drop support for |
| 29 |
+split-usr/unmerged-usr systems [1]. All Gentoo systems running systemd |
| 30 |
+will need to be migrated to merged-usr. |
| 31 |
+ |
| 32 |
+Migrating to merged-usr will move all data from /bin, /sbin, and /lib |
| 33 |
+into the /usr/bin and /usr/lib directories. The directories in / are |
| 34 |
+replaced with symlinks. |
| 35 |
+ |
| 36 |
+To facilitate this, a new set of sub-profiles has been created, and a |
| 37 |
+script is available to perform the actual migration. |
| 38 |
+ |
| 39 |
+To migrate a system to merged-usr, follow this procedure: |
| 40 |
+ |
| 41 |
+1. Ensure your system backups are up to date. |
| 42 |
+ |
| 43 |
+2. Install sys-apps/merge-usr. |
| 44 |
+ |
| 45 |
+3. Run the merge-usr script. The --dryrun option may be used to |
| 46 |
+ check for error conditions before running the script for real. |
| 47 |
+ |
| 48 |
+4. Switch to a merged-usr profile. |
| 49 |
+ eg. eselect profile set default/linux/amd64/17.1/systemd/merged-usr |
| 50 |
+ |
| 51 |
+5. Run emerge with the --newuse or --changed-use option to rebuild |
| 52 |
+ any packages that have a "split-usr" USE flag. |
| 53 |
+ eg. emerge -uDN @world |
| 54 |
+ |
| 55 |
+For new installs, new "mergedusr" stage3 tarballs are being produced for |
| 56 |
+commonly used profiles. |
