new /etc/shells is instead at /usr/etc/shells; old /etc/shells is kept
/etc/shells isn't updated when akshara runs, instead it's being put at /usr/etc/shells on account of this line in akshara.hook:
I'm rather confused as to what the point of this line was, can someone explain please?3 Replies
@Rudra tbf im confused too
updated tags as this isn't really a bug
ah yep, essentially it just copies the original, shipped version of /etc to /usr for future updates, such that it can merge a future update with any modifications you made after the previous update
the code isn't very intuitive, I should probably explain the entire process elsewhere
hey so i'm an idiot, but i've been looking into this a bit more and found another like (this time in akshara) which seems related and confuses me:
afaict this just moves any updates for
/etc/ to /usr/etc/
and i'm not exactly sure where to go from that
