Package: node
Version: 0.3.2-4
Severity: normal

Node installs a file in a non-standard location in the filesystem -
namely '/var/ax25/node/loggedin'.

Quoting lintian:

 E: node: non-standard-dir-in-var var/ax25/
 N:
 N:   The FHS says "Applications should generally not add directories to the
 N:   top level of /var. Such directories should only be added if they have
 N:   some system-wide implication, and in consultation with the FHS mailing
 N:   list."

The correct location for conffiles would be /etc/node or perhaps
/var/lib/node if its modified at runtime.

cheers,


-Matti
