I can see nothing in the FHS that is violated by that. CVS can be configured to use a directory other than /srv/cvs -- that meets the requirement that "no program should rely on a specific subdirectory structure of /srv existing or data necessarily being stored in /srv". Using /srv by default is, meanwhile, endorsed by the FHS: "[/srv] should be used as the default location for such data". *Numerous* other packages are configured to use /srv by default, without even a debconf question. They do *not* have RC bugs. > Actually, I think this is serious because of the FHS violation in > combination with the broken "dpkg-reconfigure cvs". There is no requirement that packages that use /srv have to be configurable by debconf. There is even no reqirement that packages that use debconf can always be dpkg-reconfigured usefully, although we would prefer they not gratituously break that. -- see shy jo
