Hello, Thanks to the persons who have kindly answered my questions about the /etc/dir.d/ problem. At the beginning, the software did use the /usr/etc/dir.d configuration directory, but then the packaging system would complain that this is not a standard location. I used this location because that is simpler, using the ${prefix}-based variables from the autotools (that is : ${sysconfdir} will resolve to /usr/etc if ${prefix} is /usr). So, if it is not correct to put the stuff in /usr/etc (can someone help me decide if this is actually forbidden ?), I'll put the conf files in a /usr/share/thepackage/dir.d directory. In fact, I seem to understand that /usr/etc is forbidden by the standards. However, then, why do the autotools provide a ${sysconfdir} variable that resolves to /usr/etc if ${prefix} is /usr ?. Thanks so much for your help, Cheers, Filippo -- Mass spectrometry in GNU/Linux ?
