Hi,
This has come up before already, but without conclusion I think, so
here goes...
I think (and the FHS with me) that /etc is the wrong place for
pm/functions and pm/hooks, etc. They are not supposed to be edited by the
sysadmin.
A better place would be /usr/lib IMHO, the FHS:
/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that
are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts.
Some people would say /usr/share:
The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent
data files
Apart from this, maybe we do want to allow the admin to install additional,
custom hooks in /etc/pm/hooks. Should these be executed before, after or
sorted in between the hooks form the packages, what do you think?
grts Tim
