They have been there some time ago.

The problem is that TYPO3 requires the directories typo3/temp and typo3/ext
to be writable. BTW, I just recoginize that this is not the case in the
current distribution :-|

As long as these directories are not needed to be writable, /usr/share would
be the right place. However, for writable sites the suggested place seems
to be /var/lib (I am not sure if and why, I think we discussed this some
time ago).

So I ask again:

Is it required that the Debian packages have the directories typo3/ext and
typo3/temp to be writable?

If yes: I'll have to turn it on again.
If no: What would be the right place?

Assuming someone still wants to change this setting, would it still be valid
to have the files located in /usr/share? As far as I remember, /usr/share/*
must not be writable to any user (except root). It's just static data.

Please state your comments, but I think we should definitely make a decision
and let this be for all futere releases.

Comments, please! :-)
