Hi all, I decided to create a patch based on SKS OpenPGP Keyserver v1.1.3 to make it FHS compatible. Although I left the directories untouched in the first place, but made them configurable, my patch was called Debian specific, a big change and because "there was no standard everyone agrees on" [1], SKS still puts all files (config, logs, transient state files...) in one "basedir" directory instead.
My version makes it possible to configure those directories now: basedir = "/var/lib/sks" confdir = "/etc/sks" rundir = "/run/sks" logdir = "/var/log/sks" diffdir = "/var/spool/sks" Now this is what is used by the ancient Debian SKS version 1.1.1. But is this also recommended by FHS? The the Debian package maintainer does not plan to create a new package with a new version [2]. So I think about offering a patched SKS source so that it is possible to compile it for every Linux distribution without changing the source code. Are those directories above OK for all Distributions as a default - or would you recommend something different?
