That merge only works because you happened to get lucky, and have |
| 21 |
portage merge coreutils in a particular manner (/usr/bin/uname |
| 22 |
installed before /bin/uname). If portage had installed /bin/uname |
| 23 |
first, you would have ended up with a /bin/uname symlink pointing to |
| 24 |
/bin/uname. The same is also true of basename, chroot, cut, dir, |
| 25 |
dirname, du, env, expr, head, mkfifo, mktemp, readlink, seq, sleep, |
| 26 |
sort, tail, touch, tr, tty, vdir, wc, and yes. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I myself am currently running a system with the opposite merge (/bin, |
| 29 |
/lib, /lib64, and /sbin are symlinks to /usr/bin, /usr/lib, |
| 30 |
/usr/lib64, and /usr/sbin) although I do not yet have the sbin -> bin |
| 31 |
merge yet. I added a post_src_install and post_pkg_preinst hook in my |
| 32 |
/etc/portage/bashrc to ensure that there are no conflicts before the |
| 33 |
package is merged and a pre_pkg_setup hook to disarm gen_usr_ldscript |
| 34 |
(so as not to create a conflict). |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The only two packages I have installed that I had to modify to make |
| 37 |
this work were coreutils (as noted above) and plymouth. |
