(resent - correct address for git list!) (Gerrit: you're CC'd as the attribution in README.Debian which in the one place I can see /var/cache/git mentioned in the docs - without a justification for why it was chosen...) I'm setting up shared repositories on a machine, and I notice all the examples I can find on the web, and also the auto-created directory from the packages are /var/cache/git/ So I looked at the FHS, because that seemed odd to me: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARCACHEAPPLICATIONCACHEDATA /var/cache is intended for cached data from applications. Such data is locally generated as a result of time-consuming I/O or calculation. The application must be able to regenerate or restore the data. Unlike /var/spool, the cached files can be deleted without data loss. I guess in theory, someone else has all those commits in their local git repository somewhere. Still, it feels to me that /var/lib/git is the correct location. Is there any reason why /var/spool/git was chosen? (I'm running Debian Lenny with the 1.7.1 backport packages, but I see examples from Fedora with the same paths as well) Bron. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
