All, |

fhs 3.0 was approved in June this year [1] [2]. |

The piece of it that I want to bring up is the lib and libxx |
| 6 |
directories, both in / and /usr. The way I read the fhs, /lib and |
| 7 |
/usr/lib should hold the files for the default abi and /libxx and |
| 8 |
/usr/libxx should hold the files for the alternate abis. In earlier fhs, |
| 9 |
there was an exception for amd64 which stated that the default libraries |
| 10 |
should be in /lib64 and /usr/lib64. However, that exception is now gone. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I know there was discussion/work in the past on removing the lib->lib64 |
| 13 |
symlinks on amd64, but I don't remember what happened to that |
| 14 |
discussion. So, I would like to bring it up again and get the info. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What would it take for us to remove the lib->lib64 links? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
What would it take for us to do this migration on live systems? |
