I'd bet all and my butt on the latter ;-) It's just too obvious. Maybe intitially it was just systemd cabal who noticed that managing dependencies in init process isn't exactly a nobrainer and thus (and because of feature creep like needing d-bus and other high level crap in init) and not willing to cope with the fallout that correctly beem described as dependency hell in package/lib dependencies decided to rather cram /usr/ into / - after all it's just in line with the monolithic approach of systemd at large. Now probably more and more devels simply take it as granted that they don't need to learn about deoendencies anymore. What a depressing thought :-/ /j _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
