Debian moves forward again with merged /usr |
|
The Debian project had originally looked to complete the merger of its root and /usr directories in time for the launch of Debian 12. This would have seen the migration of programs from directories like /bin and /sbin to their equivalents under /usr (/usr/bin and /usr/sbin). However, a pause was placed on the migration due to some concerns around getting the work done and tested in time for Debian 12. The project is now planning to complete the merge for Debian 13. "The transition driver, which at the time of writing is Helmut Grohne, is using a phased approach, in which the moratorium is rolled back for only certain classes of packages, and changes, at a time. In addition, restructuring uploads should be targeted at experimental, and left for three days. This is in order that automated testing by dumat can occur." Details on the merge can be found on Debian's UserMerge wiki page. |
