Hi, I've just pushed a large series of commits for /usr merge. This means that /bin, /sbin and /lib are now symlinks to the corresponding directories in /usr. All files are installed accordingly.
I'm not going to rehash all the arguments for this. My main motivations are: - It's where the big distros are going, so it's better tested in the long term. - We've had several problems in the past where programs where searched in the wrong location. And busybox didn't make that any easier. How it works in PTXdist: - install_copy and friends will transparently move files to /usr where appropriate. So if you have packages that install files to /bin etc. it should just work. If not, please sent a mail to this list. - If install_alternative etc. installs a file from /usr/... and finds the a file in the corresponding path without /usr it will fail. This is to make sure that you move all overwrites in projectroot/. I've done some build and runtime testing and there are currently no known problems. But this is a big change and I can't test everything. It would be great if some more people could test this before the next release.
