Re: Bootfile locations for rbootd?



the usual problem : you have an application and need an application home.
with ftp it's /home/ftp, for web server /var/www, and for many other stuff
it's currently /var/lib/<package> or /var/spool/<package>.

but with slink you should use fhs, so it's ???
/var/state/<package> /var/cache/<package> and /var/spool/<package>
are possible : 
 - cache for data, that can get lost and regenerated
 - state for more permanent data
 - spool ... something in the middle. it exists for compatibility reasons :-)

do not use :
 /usr/local/*		distributions should not touch that tree
 /usr/			the data will be changed by the sysadmin,
 			/usr is thought to be distribution data that is never
			changed.
 /var/lib		this was the right place with fsstnd, but is obsoleted
 			in the newer fhs 2.0
