Use LSB configuration variant by default

[kamil-certat]

The debian package, what is our main distribution format, patches IntelMQ source code to force LSB (/etc/intelmq) paths: https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/tree/develop/debian/patches

It looks like we're also recommending those paths in our documentation. I'd like to propose to move them as default configuration variant (probably in IntelMQ 4).

Yes please!

Do you intend to keep the INTELMQ_ROOT variable to allow (multiple) installations in /opt?

[kamil-certat]

Of course, I just want to apply the patch https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/develop/debian/patches/fix-intelmq-paths.patch in the main code – without any other changes. The control through the environment variable is really useful, and I use it for my development environment. I just find it useful, if the default path would play together with what we recommend and say in docs.

You may also ask on the mailing list for more opinions from the community and the users/devs.

The documentation and default configuration need adaptions too.

No responses in the mailing list, positive reactions to the issue - I think we could go with it, right?

[sebix]

Yes, I agree. Let's go for it
