[ZODB-Dev] why use zc.recipe.filestorage?

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

I'm wondering what the point of this recipe is?

Why use:

[storage]
recipe = zc.recipe.filestorage

[zeo]
recipe = zc.zodbrecipes:server
zeo.conf =
     <filestorage 1>
     path ${storage:path}
     </filestorage>

...when you could just use:

[zeo]
recipe = zc.zodbrecipes:server
zeo.conf =
     <filestorage 1>
     path ${buildout:directory}/databases/Data.fs
     </filestorage>

I feel like I'm missing something...

Chris
