-[[!meta title="genericize all filesystem locations to enable test suite:" ]]
-
-I'm in the process of writing a testsuite for the monkeysphere so that
-we can verify that it actually performs all the basic expected duties
-properly.
-
-It occurs to me that lines like these:
-
- ETC="/etc/monkeysphere"
- VARLIB="/var/lib/monkeysphere"
-
-Actually make it very difficult to generically test the tool without
-it being installed system-wide.
-
-Is there any reason that we should not allow these directories to be
-overridden with environment variables in the same way that
-`/usr/share/monkeysphere/share` is handled?
-
- SHARE=${MONKEYSPHERE_SHARE:-"/usr/share/monkeysphere"}
-
-I guess i'm proposing something like:
-
- SYSCONFIGDIR=${MONKEYSPHERE_SYSCONFIGDIR:-"/etc/monkeysphere"}
- SYSDATADIR=${MONKEYSPHERE_SYSDATADIR:-"/var/lib/monkeysphere"}
-
-Thoughts?
