The main idea is to keep the path short as possible I think They were just temporary anyway. But that is also what work sets them under. Personally I put them under /var/db on my machine, where the vardb is stored. But lately, I pretty much just use teh git tree wich is in a subdir of my user home directory. The original email thread in -dev a few years ago never could come to any kind of consensus where the new default should be. It is going to have to be a council decision to set the new default. We'll have to send a new email to the list with the main options, try to get them to vote on their preference, just to satisfy council before they make a choice. I need to send a couple more patches to the list. But I need to get a couple things cleared up first. --=20 Brian Dolbec --Sig_/ZJIwqUD0etVAhbfe=y9s6JI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEpdfHTggcxw20pKr1+70IcnWCDtgFAljPnzBfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEE1 RDdDNzRFMDgxQ0M3MERCNEE0QUFGNUZCQkQwODcyNzU4MjBFRDgACgkQ+70IcnWC DtikIA//XyggJbx+zsgq9chHe6wfKhAaBN+vNwJ0FEOnOI7E2ouWrTZA+ewkaRA7 jf5PQv9wx3MDIsHpVrnsLLZs3RPv0vvTtdvDJlQ5tbnJDLGHycNCx9fLgQieWPhZ RM5o3KCMJvzceX+PuL6S39OOTCpnDZAxOLTRRucuIS2LbDjlYwnj8flZJip3pjTT ZeO6erthGMumKwvd4wbTnIfTEKDQZ0R7OTOVKTG5a0YVE03JC9YSvLgghSPpydf4 Eq5fKsVIOV6XLR5ht9jO1XOMZDG8NzV3sGQgr6sZXj9szYxP8ubT/E1NCMdNl7c7 5NrGHP0Pz+qUGA9KJTt/UFsX3N0jh40VqknHESFdfrVKq/YM0B1zsKXu02AWFxty qgbvRmFVzPjd8S92n1SzBkGOOE70wQANCg9ht7BPzQyNe61FxBseZqq/fLMFk5Gb slrJPi6ImGmPtBBUbT90EBbQbafjmdZINhXggwKuGIlYmFArIgWcE2GVhc7vw8v4 6ZFCqP9YyQnDf8CCrYqPLgKe3F7QPIWUkzubKpz+1dlS+/dUHlyx0dKnY9VwkZyy cr392sYVpnMbX1poJAPyvOoJxoLENJkbks1F07LrAeSP/G3yLc8+54i8baet06NS +st4h85F1Cq3lh6+otqGL1VWK+ADiiF6FMrKMIsUnEb+f3emGe8= =FjiX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ZJIwqUD0etVAhbfe=y9s6JI--
