There are several valid reasons for keeping config files in /etc: - /usr may be read-only, but users should be allowed to edit config files - /usr may be shared between many machines, may use different Java config - if config is in /etc then you need to back up only this directory, /usr is supposed to be restorable from package contents >From FHS: "/usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere". So yes, config files definitely don't belong in /usr -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
