=head1 NAME

convert-usrmerge - converts the system to everything-in-usr

=head1 SYNOPSIS

convert-usrmerge

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This program will automatically convert the system to the
everything-in-usr directory scheme.

There is no automatic method to restore the precedent configuration, so
there is no going back once the program has been run.

The program is idempotent, unless the system crashes at a really bad time.

The conflicts of all files in the Debian archive can be solved
automatically, but some corner cases of custom setups may require
manual changes.

=head1 CONFLICTS RESOLUTION MATRIX

 s/d F   D   L   B
 F   X   X   S   Rd
 D   X   D   S   Rd
 L   K   K   K?  Rd
 B   Rs  Rs  Rs  Rs

I<Source> is / and I<destination> is /usr.

Types of files:

=over 4

=item F: file

=item D: directory

=item L: symbolic link

=item B: broken symbolic link

=back

Actions:

=over 4

=item X: unresolvable conflict

=item D: recurse and compare the content of the directories

=item K: keep the source (if the link matches the destination)

=item S: swap source and destination (if the link matches the destination)

=item R: rename (source or destination)

=back

=head1 BUGS

Replacing a directory with a symlink is racy unless we do a complex dance
of bind mounts. We should decide if this is really needed.

Conflicting relative symbolic links are not handled automatically.

The libc6-i386 and libc6-x32 packages require to convert the /lib32 and
/libx32 directories as well, otherwise they would only contain the
symlink to the dynamic linker specified by the architecture ABI.
