The details are here - http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/FHS_PackagingI've heard some pretty strong opinions for both moving to this and sticking to the current packaging model. I'd like to open this debate up to the wider audience.I think it's a good idea to move to an FHS layout, not only will this make directory server fit in with the rest of our packages but it will also aid in SELinux policy which makes strong assumptions about location in FHS directories.
What if we ship our own SELinux policy with Fedora DS?
I couldn't figure out what other place would be appropriate for dynamic files like databases, backups, and dynamic config. Note that openldap uses /var/lib/ldap.I did a very cursory review of the layout and right off the top of my head it looks pretty good. I'm not entirely certain the slapd instance should be located under /var/lib but that might be nit.
Once we have an RPM . . . we're not there yet . . . step by step, inch by inch . . .A good way to get lots of eyeballs to review the layout is to submit the RPM for review.
