The main idea is to keep the path short as possible I think They were just temporary anyway. But that is also what work sets them under. Personally I put them under /var/db on my machine, where the vardb is stored. But lately, I pretty much just use teh git tree wich is in a subdir of my user home directory. The original email thread in -dev a few years ago never could come to any kind of consensus where the new default should be. It is going to have to be a council decision to set the new default. We'll have to send a new email to the list with the main options, try to get them to vote on their preference, just to satisfy council before they make a choice. I need to send a couple more patches to the list. But I need to get a couple things cleared up first. -- Brian Dolbec <dolsen>
