I've never understood why such applications don't install their files under /usr/share. At least with Apache, there's no need to install files under the document root; you can use Alias directives and similar techniques to serve files from anywhere in the file system. I assume other full-featured web servers have similar capabilities. The URL space of a given web server varies so much by site that personally I prefer not having any web application available via the web immediately after package installation. Maybe it's short-sighted of me, but as a person installing packages, I always prefer to have the package not serve its files by default but instead tell me in README.Debian what configuration fragment I should add. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
