This will be fun.... What is our ongoing policy on putting things in /bin, /lib and /sbin? Here are things as I see them: 1) We already have a bunch of things in /bin and /sbin that depend on libraries in /usr/lib rather than /lib. 2) Booting without /usr mounted is not supported 3) One day we might want to do the much talked about /bin -> /usr/bin merge. _ONE DAY_... _MIGHT_... So, do we continue putting thinks in /bin and /sbin? At this time I am not talking about things that everybody expects to find in /{s,}bin (e.g. what is supposed to be there according to the FHS), but things we put there because we thought we should back when booting without /usr mounted was possible (e.g. sleep, bzip2, cut, du, ...) Moving these out of /{s,}bin would make it a lot easier if _ONE DAY_ we do decide to merge /bin to /usr/bin. And I mean _A LOT_ easier... Making changes like that is a real annoyance in a rolling release distro. Allan
