   Hi Michiel!   
      
   19 Apr 13 20:20, you wrote to me:

    MB> Ok.   
      
      At least in so far as that is initially set up during the package install.    
   That it continues and maintains file access and ownership as necessary and    
   without issues during operation is another thing entirely ...   
      
      
      
    RC>>  MB>  Where would you point that to?   
    RC>>   
    RC>>    Which "that" are you referring to there?  If to MBSE_ROOT   
    RC>> itself, that would default to '/usr/lib/mbsebbs'.  The *.data   
    RC>> files I'd default to having in '/var/lib/mbsebbs' which would   
    RC>> require code changes.  ....   
      
    MB> Since most data then would go into /var/lib/mbsebbs I would point the   
    MB> MBSE_ROOT variable to that location.   
      
      But isn't that variable also used for things like running the binaries?   
      
      
    RC>>  MB> So ask yourself this, is it worth changing it?   
    RC>>   
    RC>>     I think it is...  And at least for whatever I do for the   
    RC>> Debian packaging, I'll be doing so.   
      
    MB> Let me know when it's finished, I'm just curious how it goes.   
      
       I'll do that; at least by posting here about it.
