Package: cvs Version: 1:1.12.13-12 Severity: normal Installing cvs creates /srv/cvs and populates it with data.
The FHS says that the layout of /srv is unspecified and therefore packages should not depend on any specific layout by default. IMO they should not touch /srv at all except when configured to by the sysadmin. /srv/cvs gets populated with data because the default debconf location for repositories is /srv/cvs and the default denconf action for repositories that are broken or not found is to create them. IMO the right fix for this is to set the default debconf location for repositories to an empty list and perhaps suggest in the text that the sysadmin should choose /srv/cvs or similar for the data. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cvs depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-4+b1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii update-inetd 4.31 inetd configuration file updater ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cvs recommends: ii info [info-browser] 4.11.dfsg.1-4 Standalone GNU Info documentation ii konqueror [info-browser 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5 KDE's advanced file manager, web b ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
