[Bug 547267] Re: nginx should not install into /var/www/nginx-default (Debian policy)
Please look at the latest Debian packaging. The default website is created and is also held outside of /var/www/. This complies with lintian and leaves a default website. It is my opinion that this patch can be removed from the Ubuntu version of the packaging. Here's the relevant piece of the bzr import from the svn branch. timestamp: Tue 2010-11-02 18:57:13 + message: Moving var/www/nginx-default to usr/share/nginx/www modified: changelog conf/sites-available/default dirs nginx.install rules -- nginx should not install into /var/www/nginx-default (Debian policy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/547267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks Michael for the information, doing that would mean that we are deviating away from upstream; but changing the location of the default website in the config is the best way.

My way has the following advantages: 1) The default site is created 2) The Debian Policy is not violated 3) It works very well, and lintian.debian.org suggests this particular method in case of /var/www/ file installation.

[Bug 547267] Re: nginx should not install into /var/www/nginx-default (Debian policy)
According to the debian policy, it is acceptable to place basic web files in /var/www because of it's nature. http://lintian.debian.org/tags/dir-or-file-in-var-www.html As an exception, packages are permitted to create the /var/www directory due to its past history as the default document root, but should at most copy over a default file in postinst for a new install. In this case, please add a Lintian override. In my opinion, these files should exist. It offers the ability to install Nginx and verify that it's working without doing any changes to the system. If we want to be pedantic about this bug, this we could instead of pointing the default website at /var/nginx-default, we could point it at /usr/share/nginx/nginx-default. This may be the best option because it would 1) obey the policy 2) allow the benefits of having a default website. -- nginx should not install into /var/www/nginx-default (Debian policy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/547267 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 547267] Re: nginx should not install into /var/www/nginx-default (Debian policy)
Andres, sorry for the late reply. Yes, using the exception method, also used by lighttpd, sounds good to me. However, talking with the Debian maintainer would be better: it would be nice to have no delta in Ubuntu, just for this. Also, asking in #ubuntu-server might help to decide on that, too. When changing this, will you do the merge, too?

[Bug 547267] Re: nginx should not install into /var/www/nginx-default (Debian policy)
Hi Daniel, I'm pretty sure I added this change to fix a bug where users were complaining about nginx was not installing files /var/www/nginx-default. I think that the reference was lost in the changelogs. Anyways, I do think it is important to install the files in such directory, due to the document root in the default config of nginx references those path/files. Similar behavior is in lighttpd. Now, as I've just read in Lintian report it says As an exception, packages are permitted to create the /var/www directory due to its past history as the default document root, but should at most copy over a default file in postinst for a new install (this is what lighttpd does). So I would go for changing the installation of these files to postinst. However, I would like to hear your thoughts about this?
