"cfg" role in /etc?

[Tim Jackson]

PEAR 1.7.0 introduced a new "cfg" role, analagous to our RPM "%config" 
role. This was something I requested, since I always found it strange 
that PEAR didn't have such a thing when we find it useful in RPM land, 
and PEAR and RPM are comparable in their goals.

Anyway, as it stands in rawhide, cfg_dir defaults to /usr/share/pear/cfg 
but I think it really should be /etc/pear . (Then you would get config 
files installed like so: /etc/pear/Some_Package/foo.ini)

Any comments?

Thanks

Tim

Seems reasonable, though /etc/pearkeys is used too, so maybe it would be 
better to do:

cfg_dir => /etc/pear/conf
   sig_keydir => /etc/pear/keys

What do you think?

I agree 100% that that would be cleaner. However, that would also be 
backwards-incompatible... :/ I suggest that if we do it, we do it for F10.

In the meantime I have built a 1.7.1-2 in rawhide which sets cfg_dir to 
/etc/pear. It also adds the missing pear_cfgdir and pear_wwwdir macros 
that should have been set in the 1.7.0 package.

Looks good, thanks.

Out of interest, did you get a CVS diff mailed to you, or did you get an 
error when committing?  I didn't see anything here.

I've pushed PEAR 1.7.2 to rawhide.

First I've used latest install-pear.php version 1.32
(http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=13257)
but it breaks your patch to set cfg_dir
(http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=13375).

Option -d overwrite value set by option -c  :(

So I revert to 1.31.

Version 1.31 set www_dir to /usr/share/pear/www
Version 1.32 set www_dir to /usr/share/pear/htdocs

What must be this ? Should it be under /var/www ?
(we probably need a new option to set this value)

I don't change path under /etc to be able to push this as an update to
F-9, and make change only on rawhide.

Well, it didn't, it didn't set it to anything, it's just that the first 
time you used PEAR it "guessed" [prefix]/www as www_dir
> Version 1.32 set www_dir to /usr/share/pear/htdocs

I think this was the "intended" default upstream...

For Fedora it should be whatever we are using for webapps generally. I had 
a quick look on the wiki and couldn't see if we had a standard. phpMyAdmin 
and Squirrelmail use /usr/share/[pkgname]/[something] which doesn't really 
fit!

I think the only sensible default is probably /var/www/html

I've implemented that in the latest version upstream.
