And another round ...

The discussions on the FHS mailing list were mixed, but in the end: FHS will not specify anything, we should just do it. The most promising suggestions were: - /usr/sysconfig - /usr/config - /usr/etc
Since the feedback clearly shows, that nearly everybody preferes /usr/etc, we re-evaluated this and thinks we can take the risks, choosing something nearly everybody preferes is also important. Additional, as every important directory should only have three letters, /usr/cfg was thrown in the discussion. /usr/sysconfig is clearly out, looks like nearly nobody likes that.
So we currently have:
/usr/etc /usr/cfg /usr/config
I'd prefer /usr/config or /usr/cfg over /usr/etc. Aside from the collision in usage, "etc" is a terrible name for the configuration directory ("etc" was a catch-all directory originally, which is why so many executable shell scripts were in there...), and we can do better than that in 2019. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
