Ubuntu Packaging and Upstart

[Adam N]

I'm working on getting a package for mongodb on Ubuntu 9.10. It
doesn't seem like the current mongodb git repository has a good spot
for such things (i.e. upstart conf files, etc...). Does anybody have
thoughts on:

1. Where in mongodb an ubuntu conf file should go? In debian?
2. Should mongodb standardize on /var/lib/mongodb/ for data
storage ... or /data/ ... or /data/mongodb/ ?
3. Is there a standard location for global configurations (i.e. append-
log, etc...)?

Thanks,
Adam

------- Here is a sample /etc/init/mongodb.conf for upstart systems
like Ubuntu 9.10 --------

# /etc/init/mongodb.conf
pre-start script
mkdir -p /var/mongodb/
mkdir -p /var/log/mongodb/
end script

start on runlevel [345]

exec /usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongod --logappend --logpath /var/log/
mongodb/mongod.log --dbpath /var/mongodb/

respawn

probably can live in debian, or debian/ubuntu
wouldn't want another top level directory

i would put wherever ubuntu put other dbs, so var/lib/mongodb makes sense

I agree with /var/lib/mongodb but then perhaps the docs should be
updated to be consistent?

Well those are generic docs. I don't think we're going to change the
defaults, just a default ubuntu config file
