All, here is a proposed newsitem for baselayout 2.5.
Let me know what you think, including whether these are newsitem-worthy or not. Thanks, William
Title: baselayout 2.5 updates Author: William Hubbs <willi...@gentoo.org> Posted: 2018-02-xx Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/baselayout-2.5 There are three significant changes in baselayout-2.5. The first change is that ROOTPATH is no longer set. This means all of the *sbin directories will be added to the default path for all users instead of just the root user. I know of no packages outside of baselayout that used the ROOTPATH variable; however, if packages do use it, they will need to be adjusted to use PATH instead. The second change is that baselayout is taking ownership of most of the directories it creates. This includes all directories in / and /usr excluding /lib* and /usr/lib*. Once we drop support for SYMLINK_LIB, baselayout will take ownership of /lib* and /usr/lib* as well. Third is the beginning of support for the /usr merge through the addition of the usrmerge use flag. DO NOT, DO NOT TURN THIS ON UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND CAN HELP WITH TESTING.
