I will do it, and send v3 of the series.
I guess we don't want to change the meaning of
'./configure --datadir=PATH' (that currently expects the full path), to
keep compatibility, right?
To make sure the expected semantics are clear:
This is straightforward:
./configure
qemu data dir: /usr/share/qemu
qemu conf dir: /etc/qemu
For this one, we would have compatibility issues to take care of:
./configure --datadir=FOO --sysconfdir=SYS
qemu data dir: FOO
(it would be better if it was FOO/qemu, but needed for compatibility)
qemu conf dir: SYS/qemu
On the following cases, I don't know what would be the best behavior:
./configure --datadir=FOO --confsuffix=/BAR
qemu data dir: FOO/BAR
(maybe it should be just FOO, to keep the rules easier to understand?)
qemu conf dir: /etc/BAR
./configure --datadir=FOO --confsuffix=/BAR --sysconfdir=SYS
qemu data dir: FOO/BAR
(maybe it should be just FOO, to keep the rules easier to understand?)
qemu conf dir: SYS/BAR
