Debian follows the standard directory layout for figuring out where to put files, and as I'm starting to package some of the open source software I work on, I'm naturally looking to figure out where certain things go.
The obvious ones:
- Configuration files with sensitive information go into /etc/
- Shared application files go into /usr/share/
- Variable data, like cache files go into /var/ - specifically I'm wondering it Nexista cache files should go into /var/cache/nexista/...
