The original discussion was about the usr merge [1], which is taking the binary parts of / and putting them in /usr, then inserting symlinks in / to preserve backward compatibility. Yes, I'm pointing to a document on fdo, but the systemd guys have nothing to do with the /usr merge; it originally happened in Solaris. I never supported the reverse merge that has been discussed, it was just brought up I guess as an example of a Gentoo user being able to do his own setup. Reverse merge meaning moving everything from /usr to /. The thread has definitely gotten more out of hand than I anticipated. It is very hard at this point to separate the pros/cons, bikeshedding and personal preferences. That's why I requested that someone assist with a summary. :-) William https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/ --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlcJle8ACgkQblQW9DDEZTh8AgCgoRvZdb0NlrISON6lz+ghSwVK UjIAn0IgGwWHwT61ly5b+hipXPaXVchr =vqjA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --azLHFNyN32YCQGCU--
