[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/tvheadend: change configuration directory

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Damjan, All,

On 2016-11-28 10:45 +0100, Damjan Marion spake thusly:

I disagree. This location is not only about "configuration" but also
about "state". It contains user-specified settings, recordings, DVB scan
status...

For example, accesscontrol can be updated from the WebUI to add/remopve
users or change their rights. I don't remember the full set of stuff
that gets in there, but there's almost no "configuration", but mostly
"settings" than can be updated a lot; the most ovious being records (not
the media streams, but the settings like channel, start and end times...)

Besides, /etc can be read-only, and we need a writable location. And
/etc is not a correct location to expect to be writable. /home is most
probably writable by users (although we do not provide that guarantee in
Buildroot, it is still much better than /etc).

So, it does not belong to /etc.

What was your rationale for moving it, besides "it seems more appropriate" ?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
