The 1.2 release of the Linux filesystem standard (FSSTND) is now
available. See below for details on retrieving the FSSTND document.
The Linux FSSTND is a file and directory structure standard that defines
an arrangement of the many files and directories (the filesystem) that
different Linux developers have agreed to use. It is currently being
followed by most Linux distributions including BOGUS, Debian, Linux/PRO,
MCC, Red Hat, Slackware, TAMU, Yggdrasil, and possibly others.
The FSSTND is not really directed towards end-users. Instead, it is
primarily intended to be used by those who develop Linux distributions,
packages, binary packages, documentation, etc.
It's available in several different formats via anonymous FTP at
tsx-11.mit.edu in /pub/linux/docs/linux-standards/fsstnd. The standard
was brought to you courtesy of GNU groff, using pic, tbl, and the mm
macros.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to direct them
towards me or to the FSSTND mailing list. Please talk to me before
sending mail to the FSSTND mailing list.
Note to add-on software (i.e., commercial) developers: the FSSTND group
has spent a great deal of time discussing the placement of add-on
software packages in the Linux filesystem, especially in regards to
SVR4's /opt. A proposed /opt addition to the standard is also available
at tsx-11. Please contact me if you have any concerns.
