Hi,

we currently still have a complex but not necessary 3 layer directory
structure in the office that makes many things more complicate and is
completely unnecessary.

The reason why we have this is historical and not longer relevant and
the question is if we want to get rid of this for our next release?

Our office installation directory structure becomes cleaner and more
straight forward and we can eliminate some potential conflicts with
another derivative product that still hijacked some of our installation
bits (names).

This task seems to be easy on the first look but is more complicate and
more work on the second.

1. files and directories (URE, base layer) have to be installed in new
places, we haver to think about the structure.
2. we have to check library link flags which are currently different for
libraries from the different layers.
3. we have to check and consolidate many configuration files where we
have entries to find the related files/entries in the different layers.
4. we have to check some bootstrap processes and have to check that they
work correct
5. we have to do very careful testing, testing, testing ...
6. ...

Any opinions or volunteers who have interest to help with such a
project? If we decide to work on it, we have to start immediately to
have enough time for testing.

Juergen
