--- Begin Message ---Package: tech-ctte X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Hi, as suggested in [1], I would like to see Debian to move to support only the merged-usr filesystem layout. This would simplfy things for the future and also address the problem with installing files under aliased trees that dpkg has to do for both variants to be supported. merged-usr has been the default for new installations since the last release and (as far as I am aware) no world-breaking bugs have happened since; some environments such as buildd chroots still do not use merged-usr. I would like to ask the technical committee to decide whether we want to move to merged-usr-only. It seems to be a case of overlapping jurisdiction (6.1.2 in the constitution). I'm not asking the committee to decide on a concrete technical implementation for this. Obviously we would need to also implement a migration path for legacy installations for a move to merged-usr-only to be implemented. This also isn't relevant for Debian 11 (bullseye), but I would like to have enough time in the Debian 12 (bookworm) cycle.

Marga, David, Niko, Gunnar, Simon, Elana and myself all voted: YFN. Therefore: The Technical Committee resolves that Debian 'bookworm' should support only the merged-usr root filesystem layout, dropping support for the non-merged-usr layout. Until after the release of 'bullseye', any implementation of this resolution must be done in the 'experimental' distribution, or otherwise kept out of the critical paths for the release of 'bullseye'. -- Sean Whittonsignature.asc
