[TinyOWS-dev] Move config.xml into /etc/tinyows/ ?

[Niccolo Rigacci]

Hi to all,

I think that using /usr/local/tinyows/ as the config file 
directory is not FHS [1] compliant.

This will generate some extra work when someone will package this 
software for Debian or other compliant distro.

I think that the right choice for the configuration file 
directory is /etc/tinyows/, where one or more config files can be 
created (and then selectd via environment variables by the web 
server).

For the schema directory I think that the right choice is 
/usr/share/tinyows/schema/ (for the packaged version) or 
/usr/local/share/tinyows/schema/ (for the locally built and 
installed version).

I'm not an authority about FHS, but I think that if you are 
interested we can arrange to discover the definitive path.
