Since the reasons for "/boot" are obsolete since more than a decade, just go ahead.
Just make sure to provide the equivalent of "/boot/vmlinuz" and "/boot/initrd", a pointer to the last installed kernel. This can very well be stored somewhere in "/usr".
Here's my suggestion to move the kernel related read-only files from /boot to /lib/modules/%kernelrelease-%build_flavor
What do we get exactly by moving from /boot to /lib?
Isn't /lib as much obsolete as /boot?
Yes and no. In the usrmerge case /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib. RPM happily follows that. So there is no urgent need for packages to actually install to /usr. That's why I so far did not touch any packages that do not produce a usrmerge conflict. Longer term I suppose we do want to adjust all packages to install into /usr for consistency. So we do not need to serialize the efforts and wait for usrmerge to actually happen. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)
