Agreed!

Go and do this. It is time Sympa starts fitting into a few norms. That will simplify packagers and admins life so OK.

Cheers,

The major version change occuring with 7.0 seems quite adequate to get rid of the old default sympa setup under '/home/sympa', in favor of standard installation practices, already enforced by most existing sympa package anyway.

The attached configure.ac patch implements two changes:
- it removes any explicit declaration of /home/sympa as default installation prefix
- it removes enable-fhs switch, whose function was to change some relative path under the installation prefix, to make them shorter by default

Once this patch applied, it is still possible to install everything under a sympa-specific prefix, such as /home/sympa, but it would not be the default anymore, and internal pathes would also differs, ie:
./configure --prefix /home/sympa

would results in modules installed under /home/sympa/share/sympa/lib, and defaults under /home/sympa/share/sympa/default

This change brings simplification in our installation procedure first, and reduce setup differences, which should probably make user support easier.
