Ok. > I think you should set the default to "No changelog monitoring" at > the "debian/templates". I would find it sad to disable half of metche's functionality by default.

Maybe "/etc/metche/changelog" or > "/etc/metche/history" is more usefull. I agree postinst must not create a file in /root, but /etc is no better IMHO; according to the FHS 2.3: The /etc hierarchy contains configuration files. A "configuration file" is a local file used to control the operation of a program It does not seem to me a hand-maintained system Changelog falls in this category. Another candidate would be /var/log/metche/Changelog (this is a changeLOG, after all) but I think we must dismiss it as the Debian Policy requires all log files to be rotated, which we don't want for this one. After reading the FHS, it seems to me the only proper place would be /var/lib/metche/Changelog. Dennis, Lunar, any better idea?
