alternate file layout for ircd.
one of the irritating things with ircd is that I have always had to
modify config.h and friends in order to place files where I wanted
them. the /dir/prefix/{sbin,bin,lib/ircd,man} stuff hardly fits in
any of the systems I've used.
I like to keep "subsystems" in their own directory trees. like HTTP,
which I keep under /local/www with subdirectories like bin, conf, log,
cgi etc.
with ircd I usually have had:
/some/prefix +----> etc (conf, pid, tune, motd)
|
+----> bin (ircd, restart-script)
|
+----> logs (users, opers)
perhaps we should make it possible to ./configure the location of
these files? I for one think "/some/prefix/lib/ircd/" is a silly
place to keep your ircd configuration files.
just my USD 2E-02. :-)
