Excerpts from Ben Nemec's message of 2014-04-14 15:41:23 -0700:
Right now the os-*-config projects default to looking for their files in
/opt/stack, with an override env var provided for other locations. For
packaging purposes it would be nice if they defaulted to a more
FHS-compliant location like /var/lib. For devtest we could either
override the env var or simply install the appropriate files to /var/lib.
This was discussed briefly in IRC and everyone seemed to be onboard with
the change, but Robert wanted to run it by the list before we make any
changes. If anyone objects to changing the default, please reply here.
I'll take silence as agreement with the move. :-)
+1 from me for doing FHS compliance. :)
/var/lib is not actually FHS compliant as it is for "Variable state
information". os-collect-config does have such things, and does use
/var/lib. But os-refresh-config reads executables and os-apply-config
reads templates, neither of which will ever be "variable state
information".
/usr/share would be the right place, as it is "Architecture independent
data". I suppose if somebody wants to compile a C program as an o-r-c
script we could rethink that, but I'd just suggest they drop it in a bin
dir and exec it from a one line shell script in the /usr/share.
So anyway, I suggest:
/usr/share/os-apply-config/templates
/usr/share/os-refresh-config/scripts
+1
This would have been my suggestion too if we were moving out of /opt.
I've gotten yelled at in the past for not using this in these sorts of
cases :)
With the usual hierarchy underneath.
We'll need to continue to support the non-FHS paths for at least a few
releases as well.
