Hey, > everything in /bin I agree Dimitris. Some people really do love about the benefits of separating into /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/bin and so on. Let's stop this madness! There is no reason to support this ancient concept of a separate /usr-partition. The age of tape-drives is over, there is no need for it. And I must admit, it really makes things complicated in a lot of respects. I hear arguments that you put user-specific applications into /usr/bin and general applications into /bin, however, what kind of joke is this distinction anyway? In my opinion, we should also get rid of /sbin. We are entering the age where we don't have "root" and "normal" users. doas(1) gives us an impression that "normal" users can just as easily execute sbin-binaries as long as they are allowed to in doas.conf. Putting everything in /bin really would be a courageous, but also logical and inspiring move. In the long term, we might even think about defaulting to the / prefix in our makefiles rather than /usr. What do you guys think about it? Cheers Laslo -- Laslo Hunhold <d...@frign.de>
