Re: Hurd FS hierarchy (was Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH troubles)

[B. Douglas Hilton]

Guess I'll add my 2c here.

Other alternatives:

1. Put sbin inside bin: /bin/sbin
2. Put sbin inside etc: /etc/sbin

Apps dir: /apps  /local/apps

Put include inside /lib: /lib/include

or

Make a /os dir and then
/os/lib
/os/include


Really though, the *NIX directory
tree was pretty well thought out,
and these silly changes would really
only be for aesthetic purposes. I
think if the administrator wants to
modify their directory tree then
it should be their perogative.

This kind of thing is an ideal job
for a Hurdish translator. Don't like
the default tree? Make a translator
and map it however you like ;-)

However, there has to be some
kind of common scenario if you want
to be able to install a pre-rolled
package of some type.
