Chris Jones commented on COUCHDB-540:
-------------------------------------
Paul: The FHS gives guidance as to which directories it's appropriate to store
which kinds of data.
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE31 talks about /var, which
I would think would typically be the most correct place for this kind of data
to be written, specifically /var/lib/
(in the same way that mysql's daemon config lives in /etc/mysql/, but it writes
the raw datafiles containing its databases in /var/lib/mysql)
I don't particularly mind how the data is stored (although LDAP seems like
overkill for simple one key/one value user data), and if there is already an
alternative option we can use I would definitely investigate that, I just care
as a sysadmin about /etc/ being easy to manage :)
> oauth_token_users seems to be in the wrong place

> Key: COUCHDB-540
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-540
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 0.10
> Environment: Ubuntu Linux
> Reporter: Chris Jones
>
> If one has many users, the oath_token_users section of /etc/couchdb/local.ini
> becomes quite large. This:
> a) makes legitimate configuration of the server less friendly
> b) makes the file extremely hard to manage via version control
> c) is probably a violation of the FHS.
