LSB says:
"An LSB conforming implementation shall provide the mandatory portions
of the file system hierarchy specified in the Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard (FHS), together with any additional requirements made in this
specification."
And the FHS says for /srv:
"The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as
there is currently no consensus on how this should be done. One method
for structuring data under /srv is by protocol, eg. ftp, rsync, www, and
cvs."
and for /var
"/var contains variable data files. This includes spool directories and
files, administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary
files."
So I don't see consensus here. What if my served data ist "variable
data"? An no distinction between man made or machine made is given here.
Also this might not be flexible enough for some scenarios.
