Actually, I have a separate /usr/local partition, just didn't mention it.
Your post got me thinking (as did some of the others). I've been upgrading this
box since 5.6 or
so and maybe its time to wipe it and start fresh on the new box. Just copy over
my config files
after I'm done.
Since I just follow stable releases, I don't bother downloading the source code
and building
patches, so /usr should stay small and clean with syspatch and sysclean, unless
I'm very wrong
about how they work.
