And all this "move stuff to /usr/ because it's cool to be different" has been announced long before 12.2's release and probably been discussed even longer before.
Sorry, it's "move stuff to /usr" because we want to be able to have a read-only system, to be able to stop linking statically lots of things (which increases memory consumption by a great deal)... it's not just to be cool. All that has been discussed already and can be googled and found in lots of places, not only this list. In any case, in that discussion, IIRC the decision to leave symlinks in /bin was made to be backwards-compatible. With those symlinks, a script would only break if run from an initrd script, before /usr is mounted. Is that your case Linda? If not, I think you should file a bug report. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
