Subject: /etc/runit vs /etc/sv vs /usr/share (Debian)
Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 14:54:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060201135409.GA10941@dusk.harfang.homelinux.org> (raw)

Hello.

The "runit" documentation on the web site seems to
recommend to install the service directory below
"/etc/runit", while the new "runit-services" (for
Debian) installs them in "/etc/sv".
Why the difference?

Since not all services proposed by the package are
necessarily going to be actually used on the system,
wouldn't it be more appropriate not to locate them
in "/etc"?  E.g. many examples of scripts proposed
by packages are below "/usr/share".


Best regards,
Gilles
