perfsonar development work

[Cándido Rodríguez Montes <>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to summarize the options:

A) Put pS services at /opt/perfsonar/services/<name_of_the_service>. Also, there are symbolic links at /etc/<name_of_the_service>, /var/log/<name_of_the_service> and /usr/share/doc/<name_of_the_service>.

B) Put pS services at /var/lib/perfsonar/services/<name_of_the_service>. Also, there are symbolic links at /etc/<name_of_the_service>, /var/log/<name_of_the_service> and /usr/share/doc/<name_of_the_service>.

C) Put pS services at /usr/lib/perfsonar/services/<name_of_the_service>. Also, there are symbolic links at /etc/<name_of_the_service>, /var/log/<name_of_the_service> and /usr/share/doc/<name_of_the_service>.

D) Put pS services at /var/lib/tomcat5(.5)/webapps/<name_of_the_service>. Also, config files are at /etc/<name_of_the_service>, logs files at /var/log/<name_of_the_service> and documentation at /usr/share/doc/<name_of_the_service>.

We should decide which option we like. Also, there is another interesting question: if we move from (A) to another option, it will be for 3.1 or the next release?

I agree with Stijn we cannot change every day the paths, but, if everybody is happy with the option (B) and we don't violate any packaging standards or any other technical agreement we should release a new RC with this change ASAP, so it can be included in the beta testing process. The good news is, after this agreement, we're not going to modify the paths anymore ;)

Regards

Hi all,

because I'm no expert on unix filesystems, I don't really have an opinion on this. I'm fine with it either way, as long as I don't have to change the paths every few days because something else gets decided.

Regards,

Stijn

I think Gijs's comment is very important and reasonable. In my opinion we can accept the proposal to move all stuff to /var/lib/perfsonar directory.

It's not a big change but as Gijs said does not violate packaging standards.

Please service developers and release team, send your comments. We need the final agreement very soon.

Thanks Gijs for your input!
