Excerpts from Philip Brown's message of Mon Jan 03 19:11:26 -0500 2011: > Just to appropriately "cross link" email threads....
Ok, lets! I inadvertently found the original[1] conversation while looking for other old threads tonight. The thread in February was a few messages and then it got picked up again later on[2]. The only mention of the /var/opt stuff was by James, early on. It was never actually discussed beyond the initial mention. Therefore, it was not generally agreed as policy at that time.[3] > So if it works as intended, delivering stub files into var/opt, will > be as easy as > declaring the file as: > > f cswcptemplates /opt/csw/etc/templates/CSWblah/var/opt/csw/blahfile.db > Add as many template files in as you wish, this way. Ok, this at least makes it a somewhat reasonable approach. I propose that we throw this to a vote. This will give us a final decision. Before I craft the vote though, does anyone else have thoughts on this issue? Rought vote details: - The vote will be open to active members. - The vote will run for $x days. (I'm thinking 3 as a value for x.) - The outcome of the vote will affect package gating/release criteria going forward. - ballotbin.com worked well enough (it's not perfect) so unless someone has a better tool, we can use that again. - The vote will be on whether or not files and directories may be delivered directly (in the prototype) by a package to /var/opt/csw/...
