This page is for planning.

Stage 1: Packages with files in /lib
- rebuild kmod/systemd/udev to read config from both
/lib
and/usr/lib
, keep/lib/modules
in place, and accept both/lib/firmware
and/usr/lib/firmware
(prefering the latter). Rebuild packages with helpers in/lib/{udev,systemd}/
at the same time [DONE] - rebuild packages with libs, or config files one at a time [DONE]
- rebuild
/lib/security
[DONE] - rebuild
/lib/modules
(linux, kmod, and all other packages which create or package modules) [DONE -- in testing] - rebuild glibc with
/lib
symlinked to/usr/lib
. With/lib
only having files owned by glibc, this is possible to do in a single transaction. - remove any temporary hacks in order to support both
/usr/lib
and/lib
in udev+kmod+systemd
Steps 1 through 3 are complete. Once step 4 moves from [testing], a final glibc package will reclaim /lib as a symlink instead of a directory.
At each step we must consider how to alert people who have installed third party software.

firmware
Plan: Likely a simple rebuild, as udev has support for both /lib/firmware
and /usr/lib/firmware
. However, we should double check that nothing else reads from /lib/firmware
directly.

Plan: Rebuild together.

modules
Plan: Simultaneous rebuild, together with kmod+udev. Need to consider custom kernels. Possibly add symlink /lib/modules
-> /usr/lib/modules
, if nothing else, this will conflict with custom kernels, making sure nothing is left behind by accident.
