the usual problem : you have an application and need an application home.
with ftp it's /home/ftp, for web server /var/www, and for many other stuff
it's currently /var/lib/<package> or /var/spool/<package>.
but with slink you should use fhs, so it's ???
/var/state/<package> /var/cache/<package> and /var/spool/<package>
are possible :
- cache for data, that can get lost and regenerated
- state for more permanent data
- spool ... something in the middle. it exists for compatibility reasons :-)
do not use :
/usr/local/* distributions should not touch that tree
/usr/ the data will be changed by the sysadmin,
/usr is thought to be distribution data that is never
changed.
/var/lib this was the right place with fsstnd, but is obsoleted
in the newer fhs 2.0
