* Remove /var/lock form valid paths. It is already forbidden, so should not be valid. * Empty most of /lib. We want to empty /lib over time. This explicitly allows the subdirs that would need a coordinated rebuild to empty, and disallows everything else. * Prod people into emptying /{s,}bin. To the extent possible these dirs should be emptied and moved to /usr/bin. In particular we want to avoid new or third-party packages putting stuff here. * Disallow installing in /srv. /srv is admin territory, similar to /home. No package should put stuff there. Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen --- This is updated to be up-to-date with the status of the current move of /lib to /usr/lib, and squashed into one commit as suggested. Once /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib, we should update this again, but even now this would be very useful to make sure people get warnings in case they are about to put stuff back into /lib.
