That proposal was something that I had intended to abstract ebuild maintainers such as myself out of the picture. I am do not have a separate /usr filesystem, yet as an ebuild maintainer, I receive bug reports from those that do. If people want to guarentee that they can boot without an initramfs, they can implement my suggestion. If they don't, then it is no problem for me. I have already fixed things for the separate /usr crowd in my ebuilds. --------------enig31034D93034371F08DC0DD33 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPYUl+AAoJELFAT5FmjZuEUw8P/ihgIjUYirrTdiVVsNN8/pKn A2FGDB6EbZV/I5D7GvgbQt+CsBI7OZBeeUMwO9/ykHQEwRrrfBT5hNeqMlRkoiDu kIQl3ISHWod7ch+Y378S7YM2vxnt1scfLT1xJBpg3d9vYZo0q4s9uKkOOMQthwZG dBXA06DgrA88qnkkgK6gzGCDAn30/qC8hX9XqjZNWV8wioS+hHvrG9GZDs09/kqE 8DvmAATn2X5q3q0E2BWFfCUQMOZCQfaqj+F9YP/DE8dsEj2ox9CdV+utJfA9ro8J Q6hrNV3Xo6oDPuuAqab9S4y47AbY6UH0CQxPwxrnvBgegycU9G2h48fbL9Aq7ekc ON9nWO2gsFb8GXozg1z8DAyjv+TzI50ggG4gfmNbL2g2xQW6T3ia7g+gjGB588dE qjD7OlPGJ/XTrraPEVxSpZ4JXG2MsC/aSBDC5u2qDY7BKOXtGfKbLUIqj9NXsNEN KNrwApQnCtEKT0ai8lAACV5LiTj+iveeYhSPJOKmXCP/XVHpCCvtdAAJhrheAFC1 +FVGICrkJbpIlntDZlRzFyUvZ3nKLrJkIRj0/xgHkfdQM81fkdeTXtq6Hhalabru yuj7rsbqHw4jEYBY7fs6+n8CC92+0mUVm+uFMIOnW5aco7M6CDViZAcD940MEGhW 3vitv6A4Y/iQfYr1eqw2 =yjAw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig31034D93034371F08DC0DD33--
