I don't think we should discount alignment with OpenSUSE. When they originally proposed /usr/lib/sysimage I started to write a bikeshed reply email (like many that have been posted here) around why /usr/share was a bit better but then I said to myself: "You know what? I don't care as long as we get it in /usr. Since they're driving the change, and there really isn't any technical compelling reason to do something else, it's fine." Also, proliferation of these paths has a cost; see e.g. https://github.com/openSUSE/libsolv/pull/386 Though in practice *most* cases will be fine just chasing a symlink from /var/lib/rpm. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
