From what I see on the general blogs, yes, /current/ FHS has had its |
| 8 |
day. HOWEVER, one thing the systemd hubbub /has/ been effective in doing |
| 9 |
is getting discussion on the topic going again, and there's a new version |
| 10 |
in the works (with /run suggested, and presumably updated to include |
| 11 |
/sys, etc), instead of simply ignoring the problem and working around it |
| 12 |
with distro-specific solutions or non-solutions as the case may be, which |
| 13 |
was the situation for rather too long. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
What I do /not/ know is the status of the update, or an ETA on a final |
| 16 |
version. But if there's no one already, it'd be useful to have at least |
| 17 |
one gentoo rep in on the discussions, for sure. Otherwise, the new FHS |
| 18 |
could well be defined by binary distros and assume systemd, either in FHS |
| 19 |
itself or in the LSB layer above, just as the LSB standardized on rpm. |
