why cant you have symlinks across /usr and / all you have to do is ignore the warning about cross reference. We dont want to be in a situation where everything is ending up in /lib and /bin and so on. I am afraid thats where we are headed as more and more patches are coming where we are moving libraries from /usr/lib into /lib against the wishes of package owners who want them to be in /usr. rest of linux world is moving in opposite direction where /usr is just fine and considered existing along with rest of basefile structure. see http://lwn.net/Articles/483921/ http://lwn.net/Articles/431185/ More and more packages are now assuming /usr and we would have to keep fixing them to support our view of world if we go strict about enforcing / and /usr separation there is unionfs and initramfs and so many other techniques to solve this problem now a days we dont have to differentiate between / and /usr _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
