* Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek:
Traditionally, packages installed all kinds of files all over the
place.
But we're slowly and painfully moving towards the model where:
1. packages are only allowed to install under /usr, /var, and /etc.
(Or under /opt, but I'd want to move that to /usr/opt…)
2. packages must support /var/cache being wiped at any time, and
most packages support anything under /var being wiped at any time.
3. systemd and other projects are trying to only use /etc for local
admin state, and support "factory reset" by wiping /etc and /var.
Do you see RPM being used for distribution content only in the future?
Thanks,
Florian
