A general reply to all in this thread; the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard is currently being revised - the draft of v3.0 has been released by The Linux Foundation and can be found here:

Can I suggest that anyone who cares enough to argue about it here join that list and contribute to the development of the final spec? If there are specific use-cases that justify continued support for a separate /usr partition (Anton - btw, I'm with you on this one) then the case for that should be made in the appropriate forums while the spec is still in beta (so that there is opportunity to have it fixed).
Thank you. That is very enlightening. Even as an ignorant tyro in these matters I do wonder, though, why it should be necessary to argue for continued support for a separate /usr partition when Section 3.1 of the draft already makes the case so cogently and convincingly? Or perhaps a better question is why has Fedora chosen a path, and why is openSUSE about to follow suit, that apparently abandons what seems to me to be the great good sense set out in the draft FHS in this aspect at least? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
