Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308901, revision 7 Title: move openssl libraries to /lib - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject reason: Not done. Priority Requester: Important - openSUSE-11.4: New + openSUSE-11.4: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject reason: not done - and not needed with 12.1 anymore 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. + #4: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2011-08-31 22:27:46) + With openSUSE 12.1 this is not needed anymore since the initrd will + mount /usr - and thus we can remove all these moving of libs around. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308901
