IMHO interested people @fedora No. What happened is that the FHS put things to a vote. Unfortunately the FHS towards the end of its existance contained more random people who had no clue about distribution building and software management than distro people so the wrong side won. The people who mattered and actually do know what they are doing therefore considered parts of the FHS silly and ignored them. > /srv being: any variable data which primary purpose is being exposed > to other systems via a network interface (can include webapp variable > data) That clashes with /home in many cases. The right answer is to delete /srv (or obsolete it) and remove the silly statements about /var (which mostly exist to try and force the /srv stupidity into being) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
