I really like the part where you suggest that > the FHS "doesn't mean what they write". *I* mean that your reading o the FHS is too strict. How could a /usr partition be read-only during a yum update, for example? A read-only partition, in my understanding, and i my personal practices, is read-only BUT during installation/upgrade/re-configuration, that is during any administration stage. > And just what on earth does the "omitted next sentence" about "Large > software packages" not being allowed to deviate from the FHS layout > like X11 once did have to do with anything in this thread at all? :) I agree: X11 as nothing to do with the current thread. > The FHS' wording and intentions are clear. I still agree. The FHS wording is clear, but your interpretation seems strange to me. Please, do you personally have read-only partitions on your machines? How could you administrate them without remounting them read-write temporarily? -- Laurent Rineau http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LaurentRineau -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
