[Rpm-maint] RFC: Relocate RPM and DNF databases to /usr

[Chris Murphy]

Hi RPM and DNF folks,

I have a draft change proposal for review and comment, i.e. it's not yet
set to be published to Fedora devel at . It's a bit thin, but I expect to fill
in more detail following discussion in this thread.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RelocateRPMDNFToUsr


The prior discussions for RPM have happened here:
http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-maint/2017-October/006681.html
http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-maint/2017-October/006723.html

Fedora 36 seems like a good time to do this. What do you think?

Is it a given that the relocation should (or must) happen for upgrades?
What concerns do you have about relocating both databases during
offline-upgrade and ensuring its crash safe? When should the relocation
happen; as first or last order of business, or other?
