I'm in disagreement on this interpretation and given the fact that no other packages (that I can find) pre-install anything into /srv.
I understand it as /srv is a location for site specific data that is intended to be independent of the packaging system. There is a lintian error specifically for it: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/dir-or-file-in-srv.html So if we really do move to /srv we'll need a debconf question for it, create the directories, permissions and such from postinstall if the administrator agrees to it. Also would need to support modifying where the default database stores it. ** Also affects: mythtv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992276 Title: Default Storage Groups should be in /srv/mythtv instead of /var/lib/mythtv To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/992276/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
