I pushed all of these except for debian: Move database from /etc/openvswitch to /var/lib/openvswitch. debian: Configure Debian packages to use /var/lib/openvswitch for conf.db. to master. For those two, I need to have some kind of discussion to make sure that we think this is the right thing for Open vSwitch and not just the right thing for Debian. I'm preparing a Debian upload with all patches applied. Thanks, Ben. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
