Fwd: [opensuse-factory] Proposal for 12.2, move all binaries under /usr

If the system administrators do this change, how will we accommodate Trinity to it? Fedora is doing it; openSUSE is having an argument about if this is good or not. Gentoo had a discussion on this, I think. Should this be treated like a simple "let's move to /usr/local" or has the renaming allowed us to install side by side with KDE4 without the use of /opt? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Greg KH <gregkh(a)suse.de> Date: Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 22:51 Subject: [opensuse-factory] Proposal for 12.2, move all binaries under /usr To: opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org Hi all, As a proposal for 12.2, I would like to implement the move of all binaries to /usr/ like is being done at the moment in Fedora. Here's the details as to why this is a good thing to do, and what is involved in it:        https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove The first packages implementing this have already started to land in Fedora's version of Factory. Before you get worried, there will be symlinks back to /bin and /sbin for those scripts expecting things to be in those locations. We can use the Fedora patches for almost all of this, they are all published at:        http://harald.fedorapeople.org/downloads/usrmove/ and a number of upstream projects are already moving their releases over to this as well, which will make things easier. If there are no major objections, I'll start working on Base:system in December. thanks, greg k-h p.s. Please, before you respond, read the link above and all of the discussion about it and don't repeat the same questions that the link already answers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org -- later daze. :: Robert Xu :: rxu.lincomlinux.org :: protocol.by/rxu
