How about this case:
- Make as default non merged-/usr for all buildds.
- Make a choice of non merged-/usr or merged-/usr in the installer.
- Users wanting merged-/usr install the usrmerge package and convert to merged-
/usr.
- We have two alternatives here:
1) For those not wanting merged-/usr:
All is fine.
2) For those having merged-/usr installed:
Re-run usrmerge to convert all newly installed packages to merged-/usr.
Is this possible or is installing that package a install-once-only?
Just a thought!
