Heya, folks! We have some exciting news to share with you today. Last year, we began the process of moving the remaining executable files from /bin and /sbin to directories inside of /usr, and creating compatibility symlinks from /usr/bin to /bin and /usr/sbin to /sbin. We call this “Usr-Merge” . The rollout of our Usr-Merge process was a success, and it is now time to perform the next steps. There are compatibility symlinks in some packages to make sure they work on both merged and unmerged systems, and we cannot remove those without potentially breaking systems. That is, we can’t, unless we do an “epoch bump”, and start using a new package repository. This is also an important step on the road to using AerynOS tooling.
