User-callback example scripts: Where to store them?
Hello, I would like to integrate the "user-callback" repo into the "backintime" repo. There are some example scripts in that repo. The question is where they should be stored in the "backintime" repo. Currently there is the folder "doc/manual" containing the user manual. That manual will also include a section about user-callback. So it might be a good idea to store the example scripts inside it; e.g. "doc/manual/user-callback-examples". Or another location? We also do have an open Debian bug report asking for that scripts to being installed somewhere. Where should they go on a Debian system? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=985257 What do you think? Thank you for your opinions and input. Christian

Somehow I think they would be easier to find at doc/user-callback-examples. They are not strictly part of the manual, but standalone files that can be useful if copied/referenced on their own.

FreeBSD would use /usr/(local/)share/examples for that, but this doesn't exist on Debian. Reading through https://manpages.debian.org/testing/manpages/hier.7.en.html I agree with jmw in the Debian bugtracker that /usr/share/doc/backintime is a good place. Cheers Michael
