Assuming that the tomcat user is in /etc/passwd (or available via |
| 8 |
getent) then you can use this if you inherit eutils. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
local homedir=$( egethome tomcat ) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Now you have the homedir and if it's /dev/null you can either warn about |
| 13 |
it in the ebuild or abort. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
As to where to make homedirs - well, you can't go wrong with /var/lib - |
| 16 |
postgres, openldap and others have their "homes" there (where they store |
| 17 |
data). |

AFAIK ciaramn is right and we don't have a set policy. But then I don't |
| 20 |
think we can have a fixed policy as there would be many exceptions. |
