Description Michał Górny 2012-02-10 02:52:46 UTC

The 'split /usr' path optimization assumes that systemd is only installed to /usr when /bin is symlink to /usr/bin. This is not true on Gentoo where systemd is installed into /usr while core system tools are still in /bin.

Please improve the configure check to either:
a) add a switch for it,
b) make this feature --with-distro= specific.

Please do not force us to patch every single release. This will surely help some non-Gentoo users as well.

Hmm, could you please rebase this on current git?
