Hi list,
Inspired by a very recent (irate) Suse post to the Courier IMAP list, I
ask the following of the main vendor packages here.
Quoting a line of the posting out of context, the @suse.de poster
writes, complaining of the Courier install file hierarchy:
"/usr might be mounted read-only according to FHS, and is not expected
to contain variable or machine-specific data." This in respect to
Courier IMAP certificate .pem files within /usr that have to able to be
be generated on the fly.
Ok, the standard %{prefix} for rpm installs is /usr. AFAICS, at no stage
during an rpm install is there ever any attempt to mount and remount
/usr (or any other file hierarchy which might be mounted ro) to enable
installation. How does an rpm install cope with ro files systems such as
/usr?
Best,
--Tonni
