So we have to consider this and determine whether we are ready to take
it on board. I haven't yet had time to read it in detail myself.

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] FHS 2.2 Released
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
With much delay and controversy, the 2.2 version of FHS is
hereby released:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.2.pdf.gz
Thankyou to all those who contributed fixes and feedback. The
only major revision from the final beta was the removal of /media: it
was my decision and I will happily debate in another thread.
Format changes:
o The document has been reformatted and reworked, according to
the principle that it should be readable in a "flip open to
section I want" manner. Options clearly labelled, language
clarified.
Major changes:
o /lib<qual>, /usr/lib<qual> and /usr/local/lib<qual> options
added (/lib64, etc)
o /etc/sgml option added.
o /usr/include/g++ removed.
o /usr/local/man added.
o /usr/share/sgml added.
o /var/local explicitly included.
o /var/lib/hwclock explicitly added for adjtime.
o hwclock moved from /sbin to /usr/sbin
Minor changes:
o domainname removed from /bin examples.
o setserial moved from /bin examples to Linux Annex.
o adjtime, disktab, fdprm, lilo.conf, ttytype removed from
/etc examples.
o /etc/confissue & /etc/mtools => /etc/issue and /etc/mtools.conf
o /etc/mtab exception documented.
o /lib/ld.so changed to /lib/ld*.
o A small humorous footnote inserted.
o /var/lock can also refer to non-device lock files.
Rusty.
