Hi, 2006/9/8, Mark Rosenstand <mark@borkware.net>:
I've been using/packaging the dchroot utility from Debian for a while. It's a small setuid utility to allow regular users to chroot into a specified list of directories. Because the path of 'su' is hardcoded to /bin/su and CRUX keeps su in /usr/bin/su, I've only used it for Debian chroots (running on CRUX) so far. Now, the other day I accidently looked at the shadow Pkgfile, and to my surprise su is actually installed in /bin and then moved manually to /usr/bin.
Per probably had a good reason to do this... Would be okay by me to undo that change though.
Looking forward, it'd be nice if packagers would comment why they do such things in the Pkgfiles (unless it's obvious, say "mv $PKG/usr/share/man $PKG/usr/man")
I am still a crux-newbee and take a look to the handbook quiet a lot. Installing most of a packages stuff under /usr is listed as one of the major guidelines in "http://crux.nu/Main/Handbook2-2#ntoc24". A comment on this specific topic should maybe be placed at this place. matthias
