is there some coherent policy these days about the location of /srv as "Data for services provided by this system", according to the FHS? i've been perpetually annoyed about the current mess that is /var, as it currently contains two *very* different types of content. first, there's the truly transient stuff that can be blown away totally during a re-install or an upgrade. stuff like log/, lock/, cache/, run/ and so on. and then there's the actual network services configuration info and data, like www/, ftp/, nis/ and yp/, which you would *not* want to lose across upgrades. ideally, this is the kind of stuff that /srv was designed for, no? and FC3 automatically installs /srv (yay!), and then does absolutely nothing with it (boo!). all of the network services info is still under /var, as always. what are people doing in terms of starting to officially use the /srv directory? symlinks? such as /var/www -> /srv/www /var/yp -> /srv/yp etc, etc. i realize the FHS is still completely vague on how /srv is going to be used. i'm just curious about what some folks are doing with it, if anything. rday
