I'm not sure about moving _everything_ to /usr, but I guess that's one approach. Other Unix systems I've used have had /bin as a symlink to /usr/bin, but not /sbin (still kept core system maintenance tools in /sbin on root fs). I'm also not sold on eliminating sbin directories (I like having "system admin" type stuff kept separate), and I don't see why that needs to be rolled into the same feature (especially as just a footnote, not a top-line change). One big question though: can RPM handle such a change? IIRC, when the switch from /etc/rc.d/init.d to /etc/init.d was made, initially everything was going to be moved and the old paths symlinked for a few releases. However, there was some problem with RPM that couldn't handle switching an existing directory to a symlink, so that change was reduced to introducing /etc/init.d as a symlink. How will upgrades be handled if this feature goes through? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
