#1913: coreutils: readlink should probably be in /bin ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: Bryan Kadzban | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The Udev rule_generator.functions file has a "sysreadlink" function that uses the readlink binary. That functions file also sets PATH to /sbin:/bin (it was designed to be used before /usr is mounted), which means readlink needs to be in either /sbin or /bin.
Chapter 6 coreutils leaves it in /usr/bin (while moving many other programs). I think we should add readlink to the list of programs being moved to /bin. As for other distros, at least Debian has it in /bin (I don't know about any others).
