Hello, During a review the following question came up: Would it be OK if a package creates /var/db/<pkgname> for various kind of reasons (in this case a daemon would serve audio files the user puts there)? In Fedora only the nscd uses this directory: /var/db/Makefile /var/db/nscd/* The FHS doesn't contain any specific guidelines about the usage of /var/db/ and a quick web search revealed that on a couple of systems some daemons use /var/db like this /var/db/mysql /var/db/openldap etc. 1. Would it be acceptable in Fedora as well that a package creates /var/db/<pkgname> ? 2. Would it make sense in this specific case, where a streaming server would serve the audio files from this directory (per default)? Personally I think that a collection of audio files should not be considered a database and so it shouldn't be there. Since usually the user has his audio collection in his home directory, I would just configure the daemon that way, that the user has to specifically configure the directory where the files reside the server should stream...
