      Hi Vince!              03 Aug 13 20:11, you wrote to me:               VC> 03 Aug 13 10:25, you wrote to Benny Pedersen:               VC> As I run multi distro setups I prefer the standard method and path of        VC> /opt/mbse               And /opt is for local admins, not for package systems. In case it wasn't        clear; the reason I brought the discussion up was to figure out what changes        would be necessary to configure the paths at build time (for the Debian        packaging I'm doing, for instance), not so that the paths could be hard coded        to something else.                      VC> I just have to remember to copy over /opt AND /home/vince to a new        VC> system.               VC> Also using /var/lib could be in a restricted space area that is unique        VC> to the distro, another bag of worms.               Well for a locally built install, I imagine that would be somewhere in        /var/local/. For the Debian packaging; I'd like to be able to configure the        installed package to use /var/lib/mbsebbs...                                   Jame              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20110213        * Origin: ftn.rocasa.net (1:120/544)    |
