So can we please focus an solving the problems that break a separate r/o /usr, instead of bashing on distinguished, experienced engineers that help us keep openSUSE the premier choice for *all* Linux uses, not just tabloid PCs?
Thank you!
Been there, done that, pretty painful, reason why I do not buy this rationale and find it quite frankly insane. BTW the systemd developers are correct in their analysis in every single point.
Here is a simple test, make an spec file to package a trivial program:
" #include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<< "Hello World!"<< endl; } "
Imagine this simple C++ program is critical during boot, compile with g++ .. then %{__install} it on /bin or /sbin as required so /usr can live in remote and see if the build system allows you do so.
It doesnt!!, it aborts installation with "libraries are in /usr.." message.
Now extrapolate this to a non trivial C++ program, or even C ones, that use lots of libraries, it implies wasting lots and lots of time, fixing packages to move libraries around, fixing the regressions that get introduced by those changes ..repeat, ad nauseum..
ALl this work has to be done just to cover this corner, stone age use case.
Sorry, not seeing the benefit here
I think it's utterly stupid for anyone to ever download a kitten picture too but I know it's not my place to actually break the ability to for my convenience. More realistic example, I haven't personally had any use for swap in a decade and haven't even configured any on any system in almost that long. But you'll not see me attempting to decide for everyone else that swap is a dead concept from the stone age and we should actually rip it right out of the kernel because anyone who thinks they need it is actually wrong. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
