Package: chicken Version: 2.3-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Chicken-setup installs extensions (eggs) to /usr/lib/chicken which might be mounted as read-only. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE31 "/var is specified here in order to make it possible to mount /usr read-only. Everything that once went into /usr that is written to during system operation (as opposed to installation and software maintenance) must be in /var." I would recommend to move the repository to /var/lib/chicken and wrote a patch which allows to change the repository path by setting localstatedir (e.g. --localstatedir=/var). (This patch is against chicken 2.41.) Regards -- Philipp Benner
