/usr/share/usr/sharePosted May 19, 2006 16:24 UTC (Fri) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246)In reply to: /usr/share by rfunk Parent article: Debian multiarch support
Well, it appears a bunch of otherwise arch-neutral stuff ends up in places like /var/lib currently. On my Ubuntu box, for instance, there's a bunch of Firefox files in /var/lib/mozilla-firefox, and they appear at first blush to be arch-neutral--they're all .rdf and .txt files pretty much. All the doc files, though, are in /usr/share/doc/mozilla-firefox/.

/usr/share Posted May 19, 2006 16:44 UTC (Fri) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054) [Link] Yes, /var is for files that change a lot during runtime. /usr onlychanges when you upgrade the OS (or pieces of it). This is all explained in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
