Attached patch does that.
I agree that the current location is a bit ugly (and so is e.g. /etc/ld.so.cache and /.readahead). That said, I don't think libdir is appropriate as this data is not under the control of the package manager (as it is generated at install-time rather than at build-time, it would for instance not be suitable for sharing between hosts). I guess localstatedir would be another alternative, but the problem there is that it is not (necessarily) available during early boot when this db is needed. -t _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
