[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #3067: State information belongs in /var/lib/cups, not /etc/cups

[Michael Sweet]

[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

This has been covered before a dozen times since CUPS 1.0, most recently in
STR #3018.  The FHS DOES NOT have a place for user-editable configuration
files that are also updated programmatically.  Moreover, we do not want to
separate the printer (and class, and scheduler) state from the
corresponding configuration files, and users MUST be able to edit the
configuration files manually as needed, which is the opposite of what the
FHS says about /var/lib.

Not (and never) to be "fixed".  If you want to make Ubuntu use
/var/lib/cups as the ServerRoot directory for CUPS, feel free to use the
--with-serverroot configure option in your packages.
