FHS conformance?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I am currently evaluating packaging of MacroMilter, which lead me to a lack of FHS conformance: Both, the executable and the configuration file are currently suggested to be installed in /etc/macromilter/.
FHS suggests to have e.g. /usr/bin/macromilter and /etc/macromilter/config.ini. However, the macromilter.py by default only searches in the same directory. While I indeed could patch this easily downstream, I wonder if it makes sense to change this upstream. I also understand that just changing might break existing setups, so it could be clever to first lookup /etc/macromilter/config.ini (FHS conform) and only if it does not exist search in the same directory like the macromilter.py is residing in for a config.ini.
Updated the milter and the service to fulfill the conformance. It supports both possible configurations.
