Sorry, but that'd be a (big) step backwards. `lib*/` would hugely expand the list of files in primary, while the goal is to make it smaller. Also, for libraries we already have a better mechanism: provides based on SONAME and symbol versions. > We should not assume that everything is in /usr because createrepo_c > is used for non-Linux repos that use different prefixes (hence why > "bin/"). We should probably make it ^(/etc/|/bin/|/sbin/|/usr/bin/|/usr/sbin/). Split-usr distros are a blast from the past, but adding the extra paths wouldn't change anything for us, since we don't use them.
