They seem to still be structured as if linux was monolithic like the historical proprietary unix flavors it emulates. It makes no sense to structure a system like that when it is composed of changeable packages, is updated regularly, and can shrink or grow. In combination with the concept of modularity I read about in another email today, it would make a lot more sense to have something like a /usr/pkgs directory where every installed package has a directory, and put etc, share, man, bin?, lib64? ... under that directory. i.e. every package is modular. To satisfy traditional software, a symbolic, or hard, link could be inserted in /usr/bin, /usr/lib64, /etc, /usr/share/man, etc. Just an idea, thought I'd throw it out there. Might be completely unworkable. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
