RFD: --enable-bindir-path ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Was wondering about the addition of an "enable-bindir-path" which would only use paths with /bin instead of /usr/bin for setups where /usr/bin -> /bin (like cygwin who mounts /bin and /lib on /usr/bin and /usr/lib -- using mounts instead of symlinks). The've had that since the beginning with nothing being
installed in /usr/bin or /usr/lib.

Was also wondering why that wasn't chosen as a default for merging, since
/bin and /lib are almost always on the root file system so they are always
there, versus /usr/{bin,lib{,64}} which may need to be mounted before it can
be used...if it can't be mounted, having things in /bin & /lib pointed
to /usr won't work so well.

Anyway, just thought the option would be easy enough apart from other issues(?).
