Let stop that useless flame. I *agree* that FSH target, about /usr, is to allow /usr to be mounted read-only. But "read-only" and "configuration files" are not correlated at all. When the administrator modifies a config files (I mean with an editor), it is an "admin operation", like an upgrade. I repeat: I have known some machines with /etc/ mounted read-only! Every admin-operation on a partition can require remounting it read-write. It includes upgrades, but also modification of config files. However, I agree that every config file of the system should have an instance in /etc, so that host-specific stuff can be used in that config file. I am not arguing on that point. I just wanted to spot out that your reading of the FSH is not correct. -- 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
