/srv is a good place for local data which does not fit into any other
hierarchy, so I'd go for /srv/debian.

Since I'm using reprepro for local repositories, I'm using /srv/reprepro/
(And I also symlinked /var/www to /srv/www ...)

What's the best directory to put a local Debian repository?

2006-01-04 Thread Maurits van Rees 
Hi,

I'm wondering what the best place is to put a local Debian package
repository.  Directories that spring to mind are:

- /var/www/debian

  This eases access via e.g. Apache (though a soft link here to
  another dir would work fine as well of course)

- /srv/debian

  According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard the /src dir is for
  Data for services provided by this system, which seems to fit the
  bill.

- /var/local/debian

  It's variable, it's local, it's about Debian.  Simple.


It probably doesn't really matter, but is there a canonical directory
for this?

Thanks,

P.S.  In case you're wondering: this is my first post here.  I am
subscribed.

I vote for this.  At Stanford, we're slowly trying to migrate local data
for services running on the machine into /srv.  It's the Right Thing from
the FHS perspective so far as I can tell.
