I think it's a bad thing(TM) to put those things straight into /. Most users use a split up partition map, where /, swap, /var, /home, /usr and /opt are on separate partitions. Most of those users keep / as a tiny partition with only 100-150M space. Putting garbage on the rootfs for every single package will render those packages useless for those people, and it certainly doesn't comply to the FHS (not that arch does its best to comply with it, but at least it has some compliance) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
