Is there a consensus over this?
Now they are also pushing hard for the RH invention UsrMerge, see https://packages.debian.org/sid/main/usrmerge and the discussion on debian- devel. In my opinion the change should be the other way around (as GNU/Hurd tried to do a few years ago): ln -s /usr /, i.e. files in /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/ should be moved to /bin/ and /sbin/, respectively. Same for /usr/lib to /lib etc. (of course successively). _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
