Greetings, all.
I'd like to start some discussion about explicitly setting sysconfdir (or confdir or whatever the package uses) back to /etc instead of letting the default prefix decide it. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of this because it's causing me and jdolan at least a few issues.
I think "everything in /etc" is better, as long as offenders with lots of configs go into /etc/<package>/* like what samba, apache, etc do. I really don't like having configs in two places. I know there is this / /usr debate, but really, that's unix's past that was divided for a reason. I don't think the same argument holds today. Too many thing contradict the rule. So having one place with configs is easier to control. but I could be wrong, and I usually am, so don't listen to me! Whatever prt-get decides is fine by me! Laters
