#10101: HAIKU package management has broken the haiku file structure. -------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: bbjimmy | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/Development Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 -------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by pulkomandy): X512: it is not easy to detect where a write should go. There already are shine-through directories (system/var for example), some packages have writable files, as well. This also adds an extra place to look when reading the directory, the result is slower access to the disk. With the current solution, access to the packages *replaces* access to the on-disk FS, and it is faster. If we still have to access the disk, access to the packages *adds* time to the on-disk access, and the system will feel slower. As for removal of common, you could still boot without "non-packaged", or even boot with the minimal dependencies of the "haiku" package to get some kind of safe mode. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/10101#comment:12> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
