Re: [vdr] Filesystem hierachy standard patch needs review.
2012/9/1 Klaus Schmidinger klaus.schmidin...@tvdr.de: Please try it and let me know if it works as expected. I have patched my vdr and I cannot see any problems with this changes. I works with and without USE_FHS=1 as expected. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Since I myself only use the one single /video directory mode, I absolutely don't care what paths are used in FHS mode. Therefore I'll put in there whatever the community agrees upon (although I doub't that there will ever be an agreement ;-). So anybody who feels like it, please post the necessary patch here, and let me know whether or not it should go into the VDR source. What's missing is a directory for include files to be able to build plugins separate from vdr. Makefile: INCDIR?

So nine years ago when I started packaging vdr for SUSE I decided to use /var/spool/video (could have been /var/spool/vdr too). The second best candidate would be /var/lib/vdr/something I think. FHS 2.3 (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.pdf) says: /var/spool contains data which is awaiting some kind of later processing. Data in /var/spool represents work to be done in the future (by a program, user, or administrator); often data is deleted after it has been processed. I don't think that this applies to recordings. +CONFDIR = /var/lib/vdr Even though vdr may update some of the files there itself I still think they belong to /etc to make sure they are included in backups by default. Some people mount their /etc read-only. This would break VDR's functionality. Nevertheless we already talked about this and most people agree with /var/lib/vdr What's missing is a directory for include files to be able to build plugins separate from vdr.
