Summary: DMD should look for dmd.conf in /usr/local/etc Product: D Version: D1 & D2 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: llu...@gmail.com --- Comment #0 from Leandro Lucarella <llu...@gmail.com> 2010-08-05 07:00:54 PDT --- According to the FHS[1] (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard), "The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally", so by default DMD should probably be installed there (and give a nice and simple option in the makefile to let the package maintainers change that to /usr, probably using the well known "prefix" variable). Anyway, even when things installed in /usr/local could have their config files in /etc directly, it is recommended to use /usr/local/etc instead, in case you want to install a local version of a program already installed as a package. DMD should then look for dmd.conf in /usr/local/etc before looking in /etc. [1] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
