Hi,

I was going through the ARC 2007/047 for transitioning from /usr/sfw to /usr/gnu
to see what is already incorporated.

As of B72,
[1] Binaries have transitioned with an exception of zsh
I suppose, /usr/sfw/bin symlinks are for backward compatibility.

zsh continues to be present as /usr/sfw/bin/zsh & /usr/bin/zsh is a
symlink to /usr/sfw/bin/zsh

[2] The libraries haven't yet transitioned to /usr/gnu. I believe this
is a "to be done item"

[3] The following appear in /usr/gnu/bin even though there are no
conflicting binaries in /usr/bin
chroot, link, mknod, unlink

Couldn't view the external feedback to the ARC (at
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-arc/2007-January/001199.html)
since it refers to .mht files (MS html) that can open only in IE.
This needs to be fixed.

When there are transitioning of binaries to different paths and
symlinks are being created, it might be useful for the install script
(install.subr under tools) to check for pre-conditions before
installing links (actual file exists) and throw a warning if not.

regards
Shiv
