Feature changed by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #308901, revision 5 Title: move openssl libraries to /lib openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: peter czanik (czanik) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Move openssl libraries from /usr/lib to /lib. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Recent versions of syslog-ng can't be compiled to run from /sbin due to having openssl libraries in /usr/lib instead of /lib. As syslog needs to be available even with /usr available, having it in /usr/sbin is not an option... Also, openssl libraries are used by wpa_supplicant, which can't be used now, if /usr is unavailable. Discussion: #1: Cristian Rodríguez (elvigia) (2010-01-29 17:39:40) I would rather suggest that this "supporting /usr on NFS" feature to be dropped. #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-31 20:10:21) (reply to #1) I concur. "When was the last time you only included /usr, and what was the management overhead to keep things in sync and not overwrite each other..." + #3: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) (2010-02-02 11:40:53) (reply to + #1) + Well, either this or move several libs. + A /usr on nfs4 basically can not work, because several nfs related and + the krb5 libs (sec=krb5 mounts) and most required daemons are in /usr. + It is required to apply 1000 tricks to use /usr on nfs (AFAIS export + /usr using nfs3 on the server - just look into the /etc/init.d/nfs init + script). + The ssl libs are required by (almost every network service) + wpa_supplicant that is required not only for wireless networking + (delayed interface start, no possibility to mount nfs,... over + wireless), but also for the 802.1X authentication on wired networks, + that can't be implemented until now + (https://features.opensuse.org/305356) because of the /usr on nfs + requirement. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308901
