| 1 | "/usr merge" is the process of making /bin, /sbin, and /lib to be symlinks |
| 2 | to corresponding directories in /usr. It is done in Fedora and several |
| 3 | other distros now, and also in Solaris 15 years ago. |
| 4 | Benefits from /usr merge are described here: |

| 9 | In few words, the script is run once to merge /usr on a running system. |
| 10 | Also, the script is installed in post_src_install hook to perform /usr |
| 11 | merge during package updates or installations. |
