[arch-dev-public] [RFC] Cleaning up /sbin, /bin and /lib
by Tom Gundersen 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi guys, I just noticed that some binaries moved from /usr/bin to /bin, and thought I'd take this opportunity to gauge people's opinion about the situation. If I understand correctly /bin, /sbin and /lib are meant for files that might be needed by /etc/rc.sysinit during early boot, before /usr has been mounted. Everything else should go in the respective counterparts in /usr. At the moment we have a lot of binaries in /bin and /sbin that really do not need to be there, and I suggest that we slowly start tidying this up by moving them to /usr whenever we have the opportunity. We can add compatibility symlinks, where needed, so nothing should break. The pacakges with binaries outside of /usr are: community/busybox community/fgetty community/systemd community/tcsh extra/cpio extra/fuse extra/grub2-common extra/mt-st extra/ntfs-3g extra/pdksh extra/zsh core/bash core/bzip2 core/coreutils core/dash core/ed core/filesystem core/gawk core/grep core/grub core/gzip core/inetutils core/iputils core/kbd core/keyutils core/less core/mkinitcpio core/module-init-tools core/ncurses core/net-tools core/procps core/sed core/shadow core/sysvinit core/tar core/util-linux

[arch-dev-public] xinitrc.d/30-dbus and ConsoleKit mess
by Evangelos Foutras 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi all, My understanding of how PolicyKit, ConsoleKit, D-Bus, etc interact with each other is somewhat vague, so if I'm saying something wrong or stupid, please correct me. I recently removed a couple of "PolicyKit Local Authority" (.pkla) files from xfce4-session and another one from thunar yesterday. The reasoning being that everything should work through ConsoleKit without requiring membership to a specific group, e.g. power or storage. Unfortunately, one cannot simply do 'exec ck-launch-session startxfce4' in their $HOME/.xinitrc due to FS#25031 [1], at least not without commenting the block in the beginning that sources /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus. I see two possible ways to solve this: 1) Remove /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus and let the individual display manager, session manager, w/e, start a dbus session. 2) Add a /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90-consolekit file to the consolekit package like Gentoo seems to be doing [2]. Maybe someone more knowledgeable knows what the best way to proceed is? [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25031 [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329317
