Hm... it does feel a bit wrong, but do we have any other sensible choice? Adding /var/lib/munin-www/ is also an option, but it feels just as bad as /var/cache :) > >>> One could ask via debconf, and suggest /var/www/munin as a default, >>> would that be acceptable? >> >> Users might not know a good answer such a question and will probably >> just stick with the defaults, so suggesting /var/www/munin will just >> keep the current non FHS complaint status quo. > > Ok, debconf question with /var/cache/munin/html as default, then.

Sorry for the newbie question (I'm not that familiar with debconf). Will debconf be able to manage upgrade from current munin version? Changing the current 'htmldir /var/www/munin' to the new user specified one? > > Should the web configuration be enabled by default?

Can you help me implement this for the munin 1.4~svn release for debian experimental? Thanks, Tom Feiner
