Hi,
I want to discuss using /srv directory in packages
(For reference: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16410)
Of course I can easy sed and rebuild all my web packages, but I want to know reason why we disable /srv in packages?
(Did I skip something?)
**cut**
/srv and /home are different cases
/home often network or --bind mounted.
for example I use 4 chrooted environment to build packages with single /home (mounted with --bind key)
Most of distros I know (for example suse, alt, debian) use /srv (or /var/www) in packages. (I can not remember distro which disable it) **cut**
I do not want to split packages into /etc, /usr/share and /var folders with kludge symlinking.
Would it be good if I replace /srv/http with /var/www/<package> or something like this?
If packages start putting stuff in /srv as well, where are we supposed to put OUR data? You don't want to put your data where packages put data as well. Glenn
