How about: For read-write /usr store any database describing /usr state in /usr/lib/sysimage For read-only /usr store any database describing /usr state in /var/lib/dnf with a /usr/lib/sysimage symlink pointing to it /var is always read-write so any database describing /var state goes in /var/lib/dnf This suggests that anything that can describe state, should have separate databases for /usr and /var. I don't know to what degree dnf touches various top level FHS directories: /var /usr /etc /home and so on. But I wonder if the history databases should separately track the things being touched? -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ Rpm-maint mailing list Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint
