There is a lot of handwaving in this thread but very few results of actual tests. After creating again unmerged chroots for the buildds the only bugs left, archive-wide, are #860523 (an abandoned package with no reverse dependencies, there is even a patch in the BTS) and #913883 (iptables mixing manually-created symlinks and diversions). A few bugs in other packages have been reported and fixed over the years: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=usrmerge;users=md@linux.it So we have: - very few bugs exposed in other packages - a track record of them being fixed These are facts. People being worried if it would work or not on their own system are just showing emotions, which are usually not relevant in engineering decisions. > Don't forget that a specificity of our bug report system is that the only > measure of "it worked without issues" that we have is popcon; we only get a > measure of how much things fail, not how good they work: > > https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=usrmerge This is only partially relevant because after the conversion there is no reason to keep the package around and it can just be removed. -- ciao, Marco
