So let's > keep calm and carry on ;) Sorry to have given a wrong impression but I am perfectly calm and well aware that bash (and other commonly used basic utilities) likely aren't going to move to /usr. I just wanted to point out that this move could happen for somewhat more esoteric packages and that Devuan would then have a bug on its hands. I'm perfectly fine with fixing bugs after they've been found ;-) Let's hope that happens before releasing, though :-) Hope this clarifies, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
