As in subject, is portage bin/usr-bin merge safe? |
| 2 |
|

It appears most of my clashing files are /usr/bin/* -> /bin/* symlinks. |
| 4 |
(That's just bin, I've not looked at sbin.) |

Does portage "just do the right thing" if the dirs are linked to each |
| 7 |
other? |

Meanwhile, a quick eyeball of the results says 50-60% of the hits are |
| 10 |
coreutils, so if portage doesn't handle it automatically, fixing it for |
| 11 |
just that one package, even just using a USE flag instead of trying to |
| 12 |
detect it automatically, would kill a majority of the birds with a single |
| 13 |
stone. |

(Since I don't have a separate /usr anyway, I've been thinking about |
| 16 |
it... If it's not easily doable anyway, that cuts short the internal |
| 17 |
debate.) |
