2.8.3. The nfsmountable Macro
Using a Software Collection macro
nfsmountable
allows you to change values for the _sysconfdir
, _sharedstatedir
, and _localstatedir
macros so that your Software Collection can have its state files and configuration files located outside the Software Collection's /opt
file system hierarchy. This makes the files easier to manage and is also required when using your Software Collection over NFS.
If you do not need support for Software Collections over NFS, using
nfsmountable
is optional but recommended. For more information, see Section 3.1, “Using Software Collections over NFS”.
