Hello,

I'm using icecast, and I was wondering why the icecast data are not in /srv like other services are in /srv/ftp, /srv/http, etc. If we want to do a chroot, we have to do it in /usr/share/icecast/. The problem
is, if we want a log directory, we have to do it in /usr/share/icecast/, but /usr is not a partition that has to be writable. It is read-only for me (I have a compact flash for the system). I think that logs have no place in /usr too...

Can you propose a package with the /usr/share/icecast/{admin,doc,web} directories in /srv/icecast (or similar, like mpd, in /var/lib/icecast) ?

By reading the ./configure script, it's just the --datarootdir option to change (or --datadir, I didn't test it).

Thanks!
This task depends upon

I'll take it in community after the jpng stuff gets moved around. Will try to look into this.

I need to figure out how to put the directory structure, but I should be getting to this soon.

Should I just make it /srv/icecast/{admin,doc,web}?

I like the idea of having it in /srv. But I'm not sure about the FHS compliances with it; I like it, but maybe /var is more appropriate. Both solutions are fine with me, so we may wait for more opinions.

Anyway, thanks for having a look on it.

Well, I agree that we should try to keep it FHS compliant, but I'm honestly not sure how much icecast will allow itself to be split... if it looks in only one root for everything (Not sure), then I'd have to put it all there. I'll try to check upstream when I get a chance

Nothing new really.

Just take a look at debian, mandriva, suse and all of them let files in standard dirs, so my guess is to close this as *won't implement*

Reassigned to current maintainer and changed project (since the package is in [extra], not in [community]).
Comment by Andrea Scarpino (BaSh) - Friday, 12 November 2010, 12:24 GMT
No one installs icecast in /var: Gentoo, Debian, Fedora they install icecast in /usr as we do. I think that I'll not implement this feature.
