As an attempt to compromise between the users who want the old layout and those who want an FHS style layout, I propose having the package do both. That is, the files would be put on disk under /opt/fedora-ds, then symlinks would be created to those files and directories to correspond to the FHS layout. For example, /var/log/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/access would just be a symlink to /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/logs/access or /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/dse.ldif would just be a symlink to /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/config/dse.ldif Rationale: 1) allows admins already familiar with fedora ds layout to continue to use current tools/processes (e.g. tar up contents/restore contents, which is much more difficult with FHS layout) 2) allows admins familiar with FHS to find files in familiar places -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
