Bugzilla – Bug 5645
FHS 2.3
Last modified: 2005-04-04 06:44:57 UTC
FHS 2.3 is finally released http://www.pathname.com/fhs/announce-2.3.html Our 1.0 iso should be FHS 2.3 compliant. At least /media and /srv directory.
they went ahead and added that ? I am unsure what to do about this, my impression from the mailing list was that no-one in SMGL wanted this ? Should I add it, change the mount points for cdrom and floppy in fstab, directly against the wishes of mosst of our long term users ? Should I add the directories but leave fstab using /mnt/* ? Fhs compliance would be really good, but I don't believe in changing to a system none of us want just because they says it is progress . Lace, should we post this bug to the mail list ?
Last I remember most of us were against /media and /srv, but then I could have a slanted memory. ;) I'd say don't use /media and /srv, at least not until after 1.0.
hmm I just spent a half hour and read a few of the related bugs from the release announcement.(/srv /media /var/run and http://bugs.freestandards.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6 ) I see a half dozen people talking theoretically about things they think distro's *should* support or be using. And a few extra people taking the time to create accounts and post to the bugs but their comments don't even seem to be acknowledged ? I see little *proof* that these were proposals are accepted by any distribution ? I am sure they mean well, but I don't want to jump on their band wagon. Of course, this is only my opinion. I will follow the majority's opinion and add /srv and /media if they wish it.
I'd rather wait on doing any of the new FHS stuff until it settles down, as from what I remember most people were against it.
especially stressing the WAIT. benoit's stuff already does this, is that what we want? btw, to whom is this bug assigned?
Fixed in 0.9.4-test2. Benoit PAPILLAULT, ISO guru
Shouldn't these (the 6 or so bugs you just said were fixed) be marked as FIXED then?
Also, is the code for all these fixed bugs in Perforce?
Fix is in perforce. Look at smgl.install and mk-iso-root, creating /media & /mnt. So, marking as fixed. Benoit PAPILLAULT, ISO guru
We have not /srv directory, but it seems it is not a problem. Thanks. Verified.
