+1 from me for doing FHS compliance. :) /var/lib is not actually FHS compliant as it is for "Variable state information". os-collect-config does have such things, and does use /var/lib. But os-refresh-config reads executables and os-apply-config reads templates, neither of which will ever be "variable state information". /usr/share would be the right place, as it is "Architecture independent data". I suppose if somebody wants to compile a C program as an o-r-c script we could rethink that, but I'd just suggest they drop it in a bin dir and exec it from a one line shell script in the /usr/share. So anyway, I suggest: /usr/share/os-apply-config/templates /usr/share/os-refresh-config/scripts With the usual hierarchy underneath. We'll need to continue to support the non-FHS paths for at least a few releases as well. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
