Hi all,
Forgive me if this is a dummy question.
I see the installation directories of programs are controlled by the
applets.src.h file.
Some of them are installed into /usr while some of them are not.
Is there a criteria to determine whether a program goes into /usr or
not.
For example, why is `rpm' installed into /bin while `tail' is
installed into
/usr/bin?
I believe rpm is installed into /bin because RedHat and related
systems like SuSE,
whose practices are being emulated by Busybox, install rpm into /bin.
In other words, Busybox is following existing conventions.
Are you asking because you have an implementation of a new applet
that you'd like to integrate into busybox?
I'm asking this because our project may also need a separation of / and
/usr. In other words, we need to make sure the system can still boot up
for recovery and repair even if /usr is missing.
As busybox is an important part of our system, I want to know your
opinions on this issue.
Best Regards,
Chen Qi
