Good that I'm not a member anymore ;) Of course, the more serious answer is that this is the packager's job. > > But that would be wrong.

So things are done to get Fedora in sync with FHS. I'm not aware what the /etc/rc.d/init.d issues are to comment on that, but if there's a deviation the FPC should look at it (if it hasn't done so already). > > Just to reiterate: The /srv/vdr folder currently breaks all > > /srv/<domain> setups. > > Sure, if you happen to have a <domain> dir called vdr there for some other > purpose. Of if my scripts run over these folders and suddenly assume I'm hosting a "vdr" domain. There are reasons the FHS explicitely forbids vendors to mess in there. > Similar things could be said about /var/lib/vdr or /var/spool/vdr. No, the (limited) freedom of choice in the layout to the user/admin is solely under /srv (and /opt, /usr/local). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
