What varies at runtime is really just the _current symlink and the _current_list file contents - the rest really do make more sense in /usr/ share (or /usr/host/something; there are still unresolved issues around cross and alternatives) For those two files, though, /var/lib/exherbo/alternatives does make more sense IMO. _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
