As one of the folks representing FreeBSD in what is to become a
BSDI/Linux/FreeBSD (initial parties) file system hierarchy specification
the issue of /var/spool/news vs /var/news has come up as a point that
does not seem to be clearly defined. The current drafting in process
puts this as /var/spool/news, but I offered to check with our ``ports''
people on this as:
I recall that there was quite a discussion amongst the people doing
FreeBSD ports on this issue some time back, and would like a few
things from those involved in it.
a) What was the final outcome? Do all our ports use /var/news or
/var/spool/news.
b) Was there a majority of the ports that used one over the other? And
was this majority value the same as our final value?
c) Was the decision and resulting patches to make this consistent sent
to the original ports source?
Thank you,
