Hi all,
I wanted to ask regarding an idea from the issue https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/issues/2349
At the moment, the Debian package has the default configuration path in /etc/intelmq/ and keeps logs in /var/log/intelmq/, however the pure Python package prefers /opt/intelmq/etc/ and /opt/intelmq/var/log/
This difference is introduced during building DEB packages and described here: https://intelmq.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user/configuration-management.html...
I want to suggest the unification, and keeping the first version (Linux standard paths, /etc/intelmq and /var/log/intelmq/) as the default in any case. The second schema would be still available as well as custom path, after setting the appropriate environment variable.
This change could affect development environments and installations made with Python packages. For Docker and Debian packages, there would be no changes.
Do you feel it makes sense, or the impact (or other reason) would be too big?
