We do a lot more for the kernel in postrans: - depmod - create the initrd and move it to /boot - modify the bootloader conf (grubby) I don't see why additionally copying some files make it a "heck of a hack"? With "self-contained installation in /usr" we want to minimize the location of distributed files, so we can have: - stateless systems with a shared /usr gold master - easy distribution of vendor supplied OS parts - factory reset In our model: - /usr is vendor supplied - /var is OS state - /etc is admin config - /boot is machine owned and sometimes even shared with other OS (EFI partition ) Devconf2012 talk (3 years ago???!!!!): <https://rvokal.fedorapeople.org/devconf2012/harald-A_streamlined_and_fully_com patible_Linux_Files.pdf> Lennart's blog post: <http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/stateless.html> _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
