(In the compiler flags discussion, it's about *not* changing defaults from GNU upstream.) We have implemented UsrMove and we don't use multi-arch paths for ELF objects, which makes use incompatible with a fairly large chunk of the rest of the GNU/Linux ecosystem. Our Java packaging does not use the Class-Path: manifest attribute, and packages do not consistently use /usr/share/java for storing JAR files. So at the lower levels, there is not much we can do to improve compatibility. Perhaps we can adopt multi-arch paths, and just hope that the rest of the world will eventually implement mandatory UsrMove as well. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
