Alpine plans to merge /usr |
 |
The Alpine Linux team have put forward their plan to merge root level directories with /usr directories, following in the footsteps of other major Linux distributions. "The Alpine Linux Technical Steering Committee (TSC) has decided to change the base filesystem hierarchy. In the future, /lib, /bin, and /sbin will be symbolic links to their /usr counterparts, and every package shall be installed under the /usr paths. For now, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin will continue to be independent paths, but that might change if the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) gets updated." An outline of the steps involved, the reasons for the change, and potential side-effects are covered in the project's detailed implementation document.
