I don't see how it would be possible to sanely satisfy all the "do not assume any particular layout", "do not remove locally placed files in /srv" and "use /srv as the default location for such data" requirements in packaged software, so maybe that's a case in point for not using /srv at all. But I think asking the FHS people for clarification before setting policies and especially before rushing to make changes to packages that currently use and place files in /srv would be the right thing to do. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
