Re: [vdr] Why use /var/lib/vdr?

Hi, files that are managed by services directly usually go into /var/lib/SERVICE/, e.g. channels.conf is updated automatically or when you shuffle channels in menu. Files that are meant to be edited by root go into /etc. The configuration files in /etc are readonly to non-root users/services.
