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? Thanks. -- 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
