4 All,
5
6 I just submitted a patch today to fix an issue with brltty and it was
7 partially accepted.
8
9 The part of it that wasn't accepted is what brings me to this list.
10
11 I was told by the brltty developers that localstatedir should be /var.
12 I noticed, however, that econf passes --localstatedir=/var/lib to the
13 configure script. The way around this was to pass the --localstatedir
14 option to econf.
15
16 My question for this list is, what is localstatedir supposed to be?
