Currently, rpm stores its rpmdb (the record of all a systems packages) in /var/lib/rpm
Various openSUSE & SUSE distributions have a number of problems with this
This has a major impact on our default btrfs snapshot & rollback feature. We need the contents of the rpmdb contained within the snapshots. [...] Red Hat had a similar problem with their rpm-ostree tooling, which they solved by relocating the RPM database to /usr/share/rpm
Even though preferring share/ over lib/ feels counter intuitive to me I think it's a detail. The overall idea to move the rpm database to /usr makes a lot of sense. Nowadays /usr is meant to contain basically of all of the operating system. So the manifest of what constitutes the operating system fits there too. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
