Here are my 2¢'s: +VIDEODIR = /srv/vdr/video Using /srv is fishy and some distros like Fedora even disallow packages to put anything there. Recordings are automatically created and potentially also automatically deleted. Some of them you want to keep and some you delete after watching. So IMHO they are some kind of spool file where either the machine or a human decides about their fate. So nine years ago when I started packaging vdr for SUSE I decided to use /var/spool/video (could have been /var/spool/vdr too). The second best candidate would be /var/lib/vdr/something I think. +CONFDIR = /var/lib/vdr Even though vdr may update some of the files there itself I still think they belong to /etc to make sure they are included in backups by default. What's missing is a directory for include files to be able to build plugins separate from vdr. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
