Subject: [gentoo-dev] little filesystem layout idea
Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2003 22:11:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EDFA3DD.8050006@gmx.net> (raw)

What about the following:
instead of heaving /usr/X/Y, /usr/X/Y is a symlink to /usr/Y/X.
so /usr/qt/3/bin whould be a symlink to /usr/bin/qt/3.
the advantage? all binaries/libraries/headers/... are under a common 
subdirectory (/usr/bin,/usr/lib,/usr/include) and not spread in /usr.
This could be usable in network environments where 
/usr/bin,/usr/share,... are mounted as NFS export. (and it's closer to 
the FHS....).

bye Thomas

PS: sorry for bad english
PPS: i don't want another filesystem layout flame thread,it's just an 
idea....
