For the past couple months I’ve been working on a major revision of the Linux FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard). Among other things, this revision aims to put store-based distributions like Guix on an equal footing with the more traditional filesystem layout.
This revision is now to the point where it’s useful for me to get feedback, and I’d like *your* feedback in particular on the new language on store-based distributions, and on what should go in the placeholder section about “expectations for the runtime behavior of software” to encourage people to write code that works on store-based distributions with as little fuss as possible. The draft is viewable at <https://fhs.pages.freedesktop.org/-/fhs-spec/-/jobs/93479708/artifacts/build/fhs/index.html> and you can either comment directly on the merge request at <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/FHS/fhs-spec/-/merge_requests/4> (may require creating an account), or reply to this message. zw
