No, I don't think that's reasonable. The ‘/usr’ hierarchy (with the important exception of ‘/usr/local’) should be considered entirely the province of the package management system; any files there can appear or disappear as dictated by the packages. The sysadmin's site-local files should be going under ‘/usr/local’, which *is* out of bounds for the package manager. > Less surprise path. That's the benefit of following standards like the FHS: there are places like ‘/usr’ that can be managed entirely by the package manager. Anyone surprised by that isn't following established convention. -- \ “The best ad-libs are rehearsed.” —Graham Kennedy | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
