While writing patches to use the new variable (whatever it gets named), I noticed that the original proposal: http://lwn.net/Articles/436012/ also mentions that distros want to use /lock instead of /var/lock for storing lock files, which have yet another class of semantics. Should we also be adding support for a variable defaulting to $(localstatedir)/lock but allowing the use of /lock? -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
