are we? i mean the fs layout of the installation, not of the source. :-) both were very similar before, but isn't this about to change? > > or perhaps fs layouts (plural), a standard one and common deviations. > > (for example there is or was a linux file system hierarchy standard, > > i don't know how strict it is and how closely it is followed by the > > distributions.) > > This is no problem because they can build the hierarchy like they want > via ./configure. i doubt most people want to fiddle with that, don't you agree? > > > * online_prefix > > > # was ra_prefix for inbound and outbound > > > # /usr/local/openca/data-exchange/online > > > * offline_prefix > > > # was ca_prefix for inbound and outbound > > > # /usr/local/openca/data-exchange/offline > > > > in- and outbound what? > > Inbound and outbound are the directories where data is stored which must > be exported and imported (e.g. signed and encrypted PIN-mails). > > > data? in that case i would name the vars differently. > > The actual name is /usr/local/openca/data/ > All recommendations are welcome. > > > why so deeply hidden? > > I want to devide into data, configuration and code.
