Hi all, Most of you are probably unaware of the following discussion https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/3059 in which, in the context of postfix specifically, but touching on what should be the policy for the packages feed in general, it is discussed what is considered a reasonable way to handle packages that normally use persistent data in /var for FHS reasons, but which cannot on OpenWrt/LEDE due to /var being a symlink to /tmp in the default arrangemnt.
One suggestion that I think makes the most sense is to use the normal package /var location and make sure the user is made aware of the lack of persistence, unless they take measure to change it. Making it persistent by default is less to preferred, IMO, because the reason for the /var symlink is flash wear and that doesn't change because of a packages requirements, and users should be made aware that they need either change their plan, or at least consider the impact of what they are doing. What think ye? Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
