Hi,

I want to discuss using /srv directory in packages

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?)

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.
