Hi, Soon the last fixes for packages that were incompatible with UsrMerge will enter Factory. Time to think about the conversion plan. I've updated the wiki page¹ to describe how projects in the build service can transition to UsrMerge and how to do the conversion at run time. Instead of triggering it manually in the initrd like Fedora did, the idea here basically is to leverage the renameat2(2) syscall in %pretrans of the file system package. So there is no intermediate, half merged state. Works fine in my test setups at least. It relies on coreutils' cp though. Can we live with that? I'm not a aware of library that could be used instead and obviously don't really want to re-implement cp just for this :-) An open question is file provides. Atm I'm using a provides generator that automatically adds the legacy /bin provides to well known packages. Do we want to do it that way or manually add file provides to packages? cu Ludwig [1] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Usr_merge -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)
