[vdr] Handling of reccmds.conf and commands.conf

[Tobias Grimm <listaccount@e-tobi.net>]

Hi,

we are currently working on some improvements for the official VDR Debian 
package. As already done in the c't VDR distribution, we want to create the 
reccmds.conf and commands.conf dynamically when vdr starts, so that other 
packages can register their own commands (like vdrconvert, noad, ...).
But this brings up a small problem with FHS conformity, because the generated 
commands/reccmds.conf must be written to VDR's config directory (etc/vdr). This 
is not the best place for generated files. A small patch to vdr could fix this, 
but before I'm doing so, I would like to now, if maybe other people around have 
the same problem and are interested in a more general solution. If so, maybe 
Klaus will build this in the next official version? What I think of, is 
something like this:

vdr -C /var/cache/vdr/commands.conf -R /var/cache/vdr/reccmds.conf

or maybe even better (like the -P for the plugins):

vdr -C /foo/bar/commands.vdrconvert.conf -C /bar/foo/commands.noad.conf

bye,

Tobias
