Why is that obvious? For example, look at /usr/local. Fedora provides a default layout there, but any Fedora-packaged program which has a problem if someone does something different is broken. Similarly, creating a /srv/www and making it the default document root for apache is fine. However, making other packages expect it to be there isn't so good. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
