Well, it is a question to discuss. |
| 6 |
I am not going to begin a holy war, I would like just to provide a |
| 7 |
possibility to perform a harmless /usr merge for those who share |
| 8 |
FreeDesktop's opinion. |

In a simple way: please look at coreutils-8.20.ebuild that has to move a |
| 15 |
lot of binaries from /usr/bin to /bin: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
cd "${D}"/usr/bin |
| 18 |
dodir /bin |
| 19 |
# move critical binaries into /bin (required by FHS) |
| 20 |
local fhs="cat chgrp chmod chown cp date dd df echo false |
| 21 |
ln ls |
| 22 |
mkdir mknod mv pwd rm rmdir stty sync true uname" |
| 23 |
mv ${fhs} ../../bin/ || die "could not move fhs bins" |
| 24 |

If you have an initrd, it will work. |

Anyway, I just look for people that are interested in /usr merge. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And what would be the benefit? To me, mentioning Fedora, makes the alarm |

Yes. it does. Fedora is a big distro sponsored by Red Hat and its /usr |
| 36 |
merge will be in RHEL-7. That's not a great idea to fight against upstream |
| 37 |
if it will do /usr merge. Remember, /bin/mail now is moved to /usr/bin/mail |
| 38 |
- what will be the next? |
