Hola, >Well, I fully agree with you - my preference is also to stick with the >current layout and provide an RPM that uses this layout. > >Both you and Henri suggested Jpackage - which uses the FHS layout I >described ( i.e. config under /etc - aribrary subdir is ok, etc ). >Distros like Debian and Redhat have a policy to include packages in FHS >- of course each uses different layouts, but it's something under /etc, >/var/log, etc.
Do we have an option of getting JPackage to do RPMs according to our layout? >result in a pretty bad experience ( for example - I spent about 15 min >to restart tomcat - it seems after a crash you have to manually remove a >lock file, stop/start will not do it - so I had to look at their startup >script ). If it takes YOU 15 minutes to do it, we're in serious trouble when it comes to supporting less savvy users ;( >Yes, it would be great if we could tell "we only support this layout, if > you use anything else - please don't contact us". But if we do that - >we should also include a RPM with this layout ( since we do it for >windows - why not for linux ? ) So I guess we have to follow the plan you outlined previously, which involves updating our documentation to include the FHS layout option?
