[Fedora-directory-users] FHS packaging - combine old and new with symlinks

[Richard Megginson]

As an attempt to compromise between the users who want the old layout and those who want an FHS style layout, I propose having the package do both. That is, the files would be put on disk under /opt/fedora-ds, then symlinks would be created to those files and directories to correspond to the FHS layout.

or



Rationale:

2) allows admins familiar with FHS to find files in familiar places

For example, /var/log/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/access would just be a symlink to /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/logs/access /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/dse.ldif would just be a symlink to /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/config/dse.ldif 1) allows admins already familiar with fedora ds layout to continue to use current tools/processes (e.g. tar up contents/restore contents, which is much more difficult with FHS layout)
