@ -612,22 +612,27 @@ This allows developers who create add-ons (ex: make-debian-x11) to remain
confident that any changes made to
add-on replacements will remain available to all users.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Replacements
from add-ons are placed in the
/usr/share/gbootroot/yard/Replacements directory.&nbsp;&nbsp;
from add-ons are placed in the archictecture-independent
/usr/share/gbootroot/yard/Replacements directory, and the
archictecture-dependent /usr/lib/bootroot/yard/Replacements
directory.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When a user opens up gBootRoot, the program checks to see if there are any
new replacements and then creates symlinks from the
$HOME/.gbootroot/yard/Replacements directory to the
replacements repository.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In general the repository for replacements is owned by root, so normal
replacement repositories.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In general the repositories for replacements are owned by root, so normal
users can't make changes to these files; however, when root is
editing replacements in the $HOME Replacements location, it should be the
administrator's policy to use an editor which respects versioned files (i.e. Emacs).&nbsp;&nbsp;Then the
administrator will not be able to
make any changes to the replacements repository because the CVS directories
keep date information which prevents the editing of these
files.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is highly recommended to follow this procedure, and
not to delete the CVS directories because /usr/share is meant to be used
for data which shouldn't be modified directly by any user
files.&nbsp;&nbsp;The files kept in /usr/lib are usually binary files
specific to the host architecture,
where as the files linked from /usr/share are often text files compatible
with any architecture; however,
this directory is meant to be used for data which shouldn't be modified
directly by any user
(see <a href="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">FHS</a>).</p>
