Re: [Sks-devel] FHS patch

[Yaron M. Minsky]

Roman, do you think you could come up with a full list of suggested
paths for the various file locations?  So, for example, Fabio and
Peter's patch proposed that the membership file live in /etc and that
the dumpdir be in /var/lib/sks/dump and that the message dir be in
/var/spool/sks/messages.  Where do you think a BSD'er would place those
files?  (btw, I'm less interested in your personal preference than in
what you think most BSD admins would expect/prefer.)  

We could end up with a few different directory schema.  Or maybe a
simpler approach would be to have an option for specifying the location
of the sksconf file, and have everything else specified there.

Anyway, I'd like to get a clearer sense of what would work best for the
BSD's as well as the various other kinds of boxen out there.  Here's the
link to the FHS patch again as a base.
