Description Lucian Muresan 2008-04-07 15:16:12 UTC 
Sometimes even 'stat' and 'test' are needed to be installed in /sbin when /usr/sbin is not yet accessible (like in sys-apps/hprofile). Had to add these 2 utils to the list of those beeing copied over in the ebuild. BTW, is it worth not keeping all of them in /sbin?

ebuild patch

moves also 'stat' and 'test' from /usr/sbin to /sbin

You mean /bin and /usr/bin I hope. Since those apps exist there.

Sorry, yes, must have copy/pasted from my other related bug reports.

i'm not interested in shuffling a lot of binaries from /usr to / just to
satisfy a random package
