Description of problem: The default configuration for monotone-server installs the monotone database in /var/db/monotone. This is a non-standard location. According to the FHS [http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html], this should be /var/lib/monotone. The directory /var/db is normally used for naming service data (nss_db and nscd, my statement not part of the FHS). Other applications on Fedora such as PostgreSQL, MySQL and RPM all store their databases in /var/lib/<application>. Monotone-server should be consistent with this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.37-3.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum -y install monotone-server 2. /sbin/service monotone start Actual results: Database created in /var/db/monotone Expected results: Database created in /var/lib/monotone
