Package: acl Version: 2.2.49-3 Severity: normal Hi,
The ACL utilities currently reside in /usr/bin, meaning they can't be used during the early boot process when /usr is not guaranteed to be available. I'm trying to fix a longstanding issue with multifunction devices (printer + scanner) and the fix is to use ACLs in udev rules. As udev's coldplugging happens very early during boot, I can't apply this fix until/unless the ACL utilities are moved to /bin. Moreover, with the increased use of ACLs, I think it would be consistent to move the utilities to /bin alongside chown/chmod. I've discussed this on -devel [1] and no serious objections were raised. Thanks, JB.
