Hi,
I just tried to give some advise about proper placement of database
files in a Debian package and I was sure I could simply link to the
relevant paragraph in policy but there is none. Is the usage of
/var/lib/<pkgname> just a reasonable habit which is shared by
postgresql, mysql and probably others and I could for instance invent
a directory
/var/my_super_duper_database
and keep the data there? I do not actually intend to do so, but
shouldn't this be fixed somewhere in the policy. FHS[1] is not
giving any explicite advise here and so we can not relay on the
predefinition there and thus should rather make our own.
Or did I missed something?
Kind regards
Andreas.
