"/usr merge" is the process of making /bin, /sbin, and /lib to be symlinks to corresponding directories in /usr. It is done in Fedora and several other distros now, and also in Solaris 15 years ago. Benefits from /usr merge are described here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/ Technical details are here: http://aababilov.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/usr-merge-in-gentoo/
In few words, the script is run once to merge /usr on a running system. Also, the script is installed in post_src_install hook to perform /usr merge during package updates or installations. 2013/8/13 东方巽雷 <[email protected]> > more information? > > > 2013/8/13 Alessio Ababilov <[email protected]> > >> Hi! >> >> I wrote a script that allows /usr merge in Gentoo without changes to >> ebuilds. >> >> I described it in an article >> http://aababilov.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/usr-merge-in-gentoo/ >> >> Are there any volunteers to test it?
