Keep track of the conversation. You were supposed to be saying that the Hurd cannot get Debian to agree to /usr->/ for the Hurd, and you're wrong. Why switch to getting rid of the symlink? Because *we didn't have shadowfs*. How many times must I explain the same point?
Bogus, the change was made a few months ago, unionfs has "existed" for a year or more now. You should keep track of what is happening instead of this conversation, /usr -> / symlink was removed because "it wasn't Debian GNU/Linux"; no harm was caused by its existance. > You can't use normal filesystem calls if you have interactive > scripts that are running.

But this is a deficiency in the Hurd. We should find a way to communicate the user content to servers and it's a long-standing lack that we cannot. *wink* how do you purpose to somehow get some kind of interactive input from the user when you do a file-system call? Um, we did actually have a Hurd annex. All we would need to do is keep up with FHS and add it back; it was removed only because we weren't bothering to respond to their mail. Stop deluding your self, the FHS never had a Hurd annex, neither did the FSSTND. And if there had been any "mail" from the FHS people, then I would have responded to it, I have been subscribed to the FHS related lists since they were first created! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
