I don't think any other distribution currently uses /srv although it's defined as the standard in FHS [1] (but most distributions don't care about LSB anyway, be it Redhat, Gentoo or - most notably - Debian) [1] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ Debian and Gentoo both have /var/www, which is definitely a very bad choice wrt standards as it's just nowhere in the FHS (/var/lib/www would have been "ok" IMO). > Done: #188713 > > Certainly, it can be done manually afterwards. > But when working for a department who is claiming to follow > international standards and so, one finds lots of sysadmins unwilling, > ignorant or just plain lazy to do so. There isn't really a standard for that. Even if you consider the FHS, here: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM I think it's still a bit vague. And, as said, not many distributions care a lot about FHS and LSB :\ > Better make it default under /srv > I would suggest /srv/mysql (obvious) Right, would make sense. OTOH, what's the default directory being set by MySQL builds ? At first glance, /srv/mysql would make sense, but if SUSE Linux is the only distribution on the planet that uses /srv/mysql and all the others use /var/lib/mysql (and so do the mysql.com builds), then I'm not sure it would be such a good idea... cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEoaCkr3NMWliFcXcRAgnSAJwJF5/mrfCfkkq3IC2F649aeHR8KACgmAB+ 6hfWwRp8B8TE31pR3lcZvEk= =W+38 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
