As the approach using --confdir was rejected because the "package name" is something immutable, this adds a option where we can ask Qemu to use a directory name that is not equal to the package name.

Maybe it would be better, yes, as it gives a better hint for the user of where the config directory may be. But it's still not very clear for the user. Is it possible to expand build-time config variables inside the documentation so they show the full path? I have zero knowledge about texinfo, and even less about the texinfo conversion scripts Qemu uses (do they support the full texinfo language, or just a subset of it?). -- Eduardo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

I guess we don't want to change the meaning of './configure --datadir=PATH' (that currently expects the full path), to keep compatibility, right? To make sure the expected semantics are clear: This is straightforward: ./configure qemu data dir: /usr/share/qemu qemu conf dir: /etc/qemu For this one, we would have compatibility issues to take care of: ./configure --datadir=FOO --sysconfdir=SYS qemu data dir: FOO (it would be better if it was FOO/qemu, but needed for compatibility) qemu conf dir: SYS/qemu On the following cases, I don't know what would be the best behavior: ./configure --datadir=FOO --confsuffix=/BAR qemu data dir: FOO/BAR (maybe it should be just FOO, to keep the rules easier to understand?) qemu conf dir: /etc/BAR ./configure --datadir=FOO --confsuffix=/BAR --sysconfdir=SYS qemu data dir: FOO/BAR (maybe it should be just FOO, to keep the rules easier to understand?) qemu conf dir: SYS/BAR -- Eduardo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
