I think there's no hardship if we support the FHS location, so an exception shouldn't be made. What do you mean by "force all [HTTP servers] to use /srv/www instead of /var/www"? Why do you think that's desirable? Conformance with the FHS would seem to require only that such files must be addressible under the '/srv/www' location. I don't see support for the "instead of /var/www" part of your question. We could deal with this as we did for '/usr/share/doc' vs '/usr/doc'; that is, make '/srv/www/foo' the canonical location but allow a long transition period where '/var/www/foo' is permitted as a symlink to '/srv/www/foo'. > Per http://wiki.debian.org/Apache2LennyGoals it states that apache2 > has support for /srv/www, but it's still defaulting to /var/www. This could be dealt with as per above, along with the usual package maintainer role of negotiating the Debian-specific change into the upstream package. -- \ “Always do right.
