If we were to follow that recommendation for sysconfdir, the three
variables would have the package name appended, if the packager
wants to for sysconfdir, in three different places:
dir what appends pkg name? can packager override?
======= ====================== ======================
libexec package no: hard-coded
sysconf packager yes, at configure time
docs autoconf yes, at install time
Just so I'm clear, it seems to me that you can override the doc directory
by the use of --docdir, right?
What a mess. So I think that we should go against the
recommendations for sysconfdir, along with openssh and everything
else with /etc/pkgname/. (sudo doesn't need to, so it turned
out to not be a great example.)
But .... from what you said, openssh does NOT hardcode the 'ssh' append in
their configure.ac/Makefile.* for sysconfdir, it's just their _package_
(e.g., the RPM spec file) that does it, right? That seems to be following
the GNU recommendations. I'm trying to see what the problem is with
that.
