6 1) the right bash version of [ "$foo" == "" ] is [ -z "$foo" ], or that
7 is my opinion at least. The rest of baselayout uses this.
8
9 2) So now we have '/newroot', '/mnt/cdrom' and possibly '/mnt/livecd'
10 for older livecd scripts, or '/var/lib/livecd' for future. Basically,
11 can we really get this sorted out _now_ ? I am _not_ going to add
12 20 tests.
13
14 3) I still think shutting lvm down is the safer way for uses that uses
15 lvm at install. Anybody else want to comment on this? (Note I am not
16 saying to start it ...).
17
18 4) I say this for the last time - If you commit to baselayout, you go
19 through _me_. If anybody took long to respond to patches or testing
20 there of, it was not me. You do not know if your changes could have
21 any more implications than you might see/think of. I do not see you
22 doing this with portage. I do not see me removing all the broken
23 'ppc64' keywords (and breaking in on what you consider your domain)?
24 Questions?
