I am making the SBo scripts for EasyRSA, and I need to decide where they
will be installed. Before they were removed from Slackware - when they
were part of Openvpn, I think they used to go under
/usr/share/doc/openvpn. However, it seems a bit strange to install a
package in the directory of another package. Maybe
/usr/share/doc/easyrsa instead? However, they are sample scripts - not
really documentation. According to Linux filesystem standards, would
there be a better place? Maybe /usr/share directly, or /us/lib or
something?
It was very handy to have them in /etc/openvpn/...
EasyRSA scripts will create keys in the `keys` subdir,
so /usr/share and /usr/doc are probably not the best location
without patching KEY_DIR in easyrsa/*/vars to point
to a more reasonable location
export KEY_DIR="$EASY_RSA/keys"
But this still should not be an absolute path,
because when you're running multiple openvpn servers
you would normally have something like:
/etc/openvpn/server/server1/easyrsa/*/keys
/etc/openvpn/server/server2/easyrsa/*/keys
/etc/openvpn/server/server3/easyrsa/*/keys
and a patched KEY_DIR would place all keys by default
in one directory. That's not what you want (with multiple servers).
So after rethinking this my suggestion is:
/usr/share/easyrsa without patching KEY_DIR (keys placed in subdir)
Thanks everybody. /usr/share/easyrsa is actually the place I settled in
my mind after my initial post - it seems the most reasonable path. I
will include some comments in the README as to their location, and they
can be copied somewhere else when they are going to be used - if needed.
