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.
I have worked with systems that use symbolic links in similar capacities
and usually find that in spite of having an understanding of symbolic
links, I tend to get caught up in the iliusion that they are trying to
create and do things that make sense in the illusory world but not in
the real world.
For example copying /etc/named.conf to /etc/named.conf.bak before
modifying it and then afterward discovering that /etc/named.conf and
/etc/named.conf.bak are now both symbolic links to the same changed copy
of the real file in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.
I vote for either layout in preference to this proposed compromise.
But if pressed, my preference between FHS and /opt/fedora-ds would be
for FHS.
