While I agree that /usr(/bin) is incorrect, I believe that "for OS-installed files only" is taking it a bit far. My (admittedly, dim) recollection of the FHS is that the /usr hierarchy is for static[1] "user" binaries, libraries, and so on; while being OS-agnostic (so long as that OS followed the FHS). [1] "Static" in terms of the relevant filesystem being able to be mounted RO and not cause any undue headaches. I don't believe that the FHS writers ever meant to imply that executables and symlinks thereto were to be immutable such that installation of new / upgrading of existing software is rendered impossible. -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
