Well, until something changes upstream, Mythtv currently uses the MYTHCONFDIR (and falls back to HOME) for where to store configuration data. Which is not really a problem. The problem is instead of creating another environment for cache or other non-config data, they use the same MYTHCONFDIR. This means that a lot of stuff is being stored in /etc/mythtv that shouldn't be. Since I don't have a good way of splitting it up short of some major patching to the source, I'm thinking of just moving the config dir to /var/lib/mythtv which already exists. The problem is how to migrate the current data? I'm guessing it would have to be done in %post, something like: %post if [ $1 -gt 1 ] ; then cp -a %{_sysconfdir}/%{name} %{_sharedstatedir}/ &> /dev/null || : and this putting some sort of readme file in /etc/mythtv so anyone looking will know what's happened.... Comments? Thanks, Richard
