Contrib developers:
/home/e-smith/{configuration,accounts,...} are being relocated to /home/e-smith/db as part of the 7.0alpha development work. This has been a long-standing desire of the development team - having a set of files in the /home/e-smith directory is messy and complicates some scripts.
The libraries which support configuration file access have been modified to make this relocation automatic, but if you have any scripts which explicitly reference (e.g.) /home/e-smith/configuration, they will need to be fixed for 7.0alpha.
If you use esmith::ConfigDB with a filename, just leave the path out (i.e. just refer to "fibble" instead of "/home/e-smith/fibble"), and the file will turn up in the correct location. If you call the open() routines with an explicit path, you'll now see a warning in the logs.
If you're using the esmith::db or esmith::config interfaces, please take some time to move to the new APIs - they've been around since 5.5 and are so much nicer...
We expect the new paths to be in effect from Alpha26.
