[Nix-dev] Moving binaries from sbin/ to bin/?

2014-10-02 Thread Bjørn Forsman
Hi, Does anyone mind if we (slowly) move binaries from $out/sbin to $out/bin? Arguments for doing it: 1) The sbin vs bin distinction is an historic relic from the past. It makes little sense on NixOS. (Even a normal (LSB-like) distro like ArchLinux has already made the sbin - bin switch). 2)
