A New Epoch Begins

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
