${daisy.home} is correct.

Similarly, you might want to check if the paths of the blobstore and
indexstore are still absolute. You can make them relative by using the
${daisy.datadir} variable.

Once this is done, you can move around the datadirectory on your system,
just specify the new location as argument when starting the repository
(while the repository is not running of course).

All this is the by default the case for fresh Daisy 1.5-and-up
installations.

It was covered by the 1.4->1.5 upgrade instructions
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_5/13-cd/328-cd.html

though it might not have been clear that one could actually leave the
${daisy.home} in there.
