Do you think your genes are nicely commented and using pretty > variable names? :) It is a bit more complicated since /usr/share/foo and /usr/lib64/foo is also for "things belonging to foo". I never made the hypothesis that /var/lib is for shared libs, and in fact it is not. But if you read the FHS, srv is clearly for tftpboot stuff: /srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system. while /var/lib is more for local databases (like nis, rpm, locate, yum...). Though this may also be the best place for what is in /srv if the convention is that the distribution does not touch /srv. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
