Hi,
Would it be possible to explain section 3 in more detail? I am
referring to this paragraph in the rational:
Software must never create or require special files or subdirectories in
the root directory. Other locations in the FHS hierarchy provide more
than enough flexibility for any package.
I still can't figure out for the life of me if it is about
third-party software (software that is installed by the system
administrator) or about the actual distribution. I believe that this
would clarify a lot of the confusion that has been going on
debian-hurd/debian-devel. I.e. if a different operating system (GNU
in this case) can make directories in the root directory (/libexec,
/hurd, /servers).
It could be changed to:
Third party software must never......
Or something along those lines.
Just a random off topic thought,
