hi,
I am working on packaging an upstream (aerospike) which presently puts
some of its file in /opt/aerospike.
The two main folders in use (by upstream) are
/opt/aerospike/sys/udf/lua - This has the user defined lua functions
shipped with the package.
/opt/aerospike/usr/udf/ - This will have the user's custom UDFs.
What will be the right place in FHS to put the above two directories
when packaging for Fedora? Should these go into /usr/share/aerospike or
some place in /var?
I think the useful place to put it is to get aerospike to publish
their SRPM, especially their spec files.
Let me cut a long story short: /opt/<vendor> is the appropriate place
for other SW-vendors to install add-on packages into, but it's an
entirely inappropriate place to for OS-vendors (such as Fedora) to put
their packages into.
Or conversely: It's strictly prohibited for Fedora to install package
into /opt, because this path is reserved for add-on packages.
