Except for the actual OS (kernel), and libs in /lib, and

With the exception of /var, /opt, and /home, everything is already moving to /usr by default in openSUSE. Even /etc is, with the /usr/etc containing the functioning defaults and /etc containing only host-specific overrides. There's an ongoing effort in both Fedora and openSUSE to empty /etc and eliminate OS-specific state from /var, such that the OS is centralized into /usr. As for the OS kernel and bootloader code, on openSUSE it *is* mostly in /usr and copied into /boot on install/upgrade.
/boot/vmlinuz* is part of RPM and is installed there. /lib/modules is there - are you aware of any plans to move it into /usr/lib/modules? Even so, what with /boot/vmlinuz?
While not perfectly there yet, we're on the path to getting to a point where the OS is completely in /usr and everything else is user/host specific and is out of the realm of the package manager.
This seems to me to be getting right away from the separation of privileges/ ownership ethos that has long been a hallmark of *nix-type systems. I thought system-owned, system- or admin-executable packages should be in /bin (with their corresponding libraries in /lib and configs in /etc), and user- executable binares in /usr/bin with corresponding /usr/lib/ and /usr/etc libs/ configs respectively. That makes perfect sense. Moving everyting into /usr/bin, /usr/lib and /usr/etc makes no sense whatsoever to me, but it seems that it's basically a tait accompli (the decision has already been made, for better or worse), so I guess we'll either have to live with it - and the breakages it will initially (and ineveitably) cause, or simply not upgrade past a certain pre-merge release. -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ==============================================================
