The effort got stuck, at the time and then eventually dropped by me, based on some package maintainers not agreeing with the arguments made for the change to dropping /bin and others in favor of /usr based locations. Times have changed and maybe those maintainers have changed their minds or maybe we can have a greater initiative to move this along such that those maintainers cannot be in a position of being blockers.
The good thing is that with the macro we don't have to decide about the usr merge now. Nothing would break in Factory. Those who want to further explore the usr merge can then actually proceed to create a working prototype without having to fight merge conflicts though. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)
