Re: [Queue-developers] Queue 1.40.1 beta released

[Mike C. <da...@ix...>]

NFS-shared Queue spool directory is "/usr/var/spool/queue"

/usr/var/spool is not an appropriate place for this.

/usr/var should *NOT* be nfs shared.  All var name spaces should be
reserved for localstate information.

Instead, use /usr/com/queue.

For reference, the GNU Coding Standard:

`sharedstatedir'
     The directory for installing architecture-independent data files
     which the programs modify while they run.  This should normally be
     `/usr/local/com', but write it as `$(prefix)/com'.  (If you are
     using Autoconf, write it as `@sharedstatedir@'.)

Btw, I recommend that the profiles NOT go into sharedstatedir, as they are,
in general, read only files.  Instead, they should go into into
/usr/share/queue.  (Actually I'd strongly suggest
/usr/share/queue/profiles.)

Doing a make now...

mrc

PS: Oh yeah, the above was build with --prefix=/usr, but even account for
s+/usr+/usr/local+, the same arguments still hold.
