Unit files need to be in /, so moving them would either require creating a /share for distributions that haven't merged /usr or putting up with inconsistent naming between distributions. Consistency is a virtue and the chances of getting anyone else to accept /share are minimal, so /lib it is. Meanwhile, libexec's not part of any non-draft version of the FHS and doesn't exist on most other distributions, and the path of the helper binaries has ended up in a bunch of unit files. So, similar problems. What benefit do you see in modifying systemd? -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
