Issue #9407 has been reported by Daniel Pittman.

----------------------------------------
Feature #9407: Use platform-appropriate defaults for `:vardir`, etc.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9407

Author: Daniel Pittman
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: usability
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5
Keywords: 
Branch: 


In #3962 we found that Puppet wouldn't start on anything that didn't ship 
`/var/lib` out of the box, notably OS-X and Solaris.  These platforms all have 
sensible places that, like `/var/lib` on Linux, are where we *should* store our 
state, databases, etc.

We should enhance Puppet so that the default `:vardir`, and every other similar 
path, is rooted somewhere platform-appropriate.  This will fix the underlying 
cause of #3962, as well as making us a nicer citizen of the various platforms 
we manage.

This is a pretty big usability issues for platforms that are not Linux.
