Yes. I'm not at all sure that maintaining this distinction is worth it. But, separately, if we're going to maintain it, we should do it properly, since having the distinction but having it not work is the worst of all worlds. The meta-bug is going to produce a lot of discussion about what we *should* do but won't get anything fixed for our current policy, I'm afraid. But having a tool that would let us find problems would; a lot of maintainers would use it and would fix their packages from the reports. And I think that individual bug reports on packages would mostly be well-received. I should start another discussion here on the FHS list about the bin vs. sbin distinction as well, and whether folks feel like moving everything from sbin to bin and symlinking sbin to bin would comply with the FHS. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
