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.
For example, /var/log/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/access would just be a
symlink to /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/logs/access
or
/etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/dse.ldif would just be a symlink to
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/config/dse.ldif
Rationale:
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)
2) allows admins familiar with FHS to find files in familiar places
Hi,
Sounds fine to me, just as long as nothing depends on those symlinks
being present, e.g. start/stop scripts, backup/restore scripts, etc. For
example, if one of my tools creates a new instance, but doesn't symlink
it to the FHS place, that shouldn't cause any lack of functionality.
BR,
Mike
