[Devil-linux-develop] path for cgi's

[Roland P. <pa...@ta...>]

Hi,
I'm writing the scripts for apcupsd because I got one yesterday. apcupsd 
contains some cgi's which are normally copied to /etc/apcupsd/cgi/ . They are 
roughly 600KB in size and bzip2'd still 270 KB. IMHO it would be a waste of 
space to put them on a floppy, since they aren't scripts and not meant to be 
customized. What would be a good place? 
/usr/libexec/apcupsd ?

I think this is a good location, just symlink it and we're OK.

I'm talking about these files... Do you want to create /srv/www ? 
IMHO /srv/www is equivalent to /shm/var/www, and that's not on the CD...

I would rather put it in /usr/libexec/apcupsd as suggested before.
I don't like having a /srv directory

Ok, but does /usr/libexec/apcupsd fit the description at
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLIBLTQUALGTALTERNATEFORMATLIBRARI

What do you think about /usr/share/apcupsd?

I could live with both /libexec/ and /share/.
I also found the path /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ with two cgi's in it, haven't yet 
looked up which program creates it (guess it's apache)...

I think Friedrich is right, /usr/share/apcupsd would make sense.
I change my vote to this one. ;-)
