Why will /opt have to go?
Well, then:
/opt -> /usr/opt
And everyone will be happy :)
BTW, will there be the move from /bin to /usr/bin in the foreseeable future?
Good question. I can not remember having seen and recent plans on it.
This gives an idea about which packages still have files in /bin/:
$ pacman -Qoq /bin/* | sort | uniq
And the same for /sbin/:
$ pacman -Qoq /sbin/* | sort | uniq
No single file that does not belong to a package here... Good conditions for a smooth update. ;)
i've got nothing to back this up, but i'm guessing this one is going to be a little trickier ... mainly because there are multiple packages that are *expected* to exist in /bin. `bash` (sh) and `coreutils` are the two major ones that come to mind. i expect pacman does not fork out to external processes, and can handle the switch itself, but it's not as easy as the incremental lib -> usr/lib update (which affects nothing) ... i expect there will be a final switcharoo at the end where 2+ packages must all be moved in one fell swoop. Tom? others? i too am curious of the progress or experiences thus far. -- C Anthony
