you're entitled to not being surprised by not having followed directions, but 
you're not exempted from the consequences.
 
Changing TopDir like you did does not work for versions prior to 3.2.0beta0,  
unless the package contains an appropriate patch. I don't know if your package
does, but if it doesn't, pooling will not work, and you'll have large amounts 
of errors "BackupPC_link got error XXX when calling MakeFileLink..." in your  
log files. As I read the code, BackupPC does not in fact prevent this at      
startup, where it checks whether $Topdir/pc and $Topdir/cpool are on the same
file system. BackupPC_link uses CPoolDir. This is supposed to be the same, but
prior to 3.2.0beta0, CPoolDir will incorrectly be set to the value 
"$Topdir/cpool" had *before* $Conf{TopDir} was changed in the config file.
 
So, keep TopDir where the package puts it, as you've already decided to do for
SELinux reasons anyway.
 
Regards,
Holger
