[Bug 992276] Re: Default Storage Groups should be in /srv/mythtv instead of /var/lib/mythtv

 

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)

Title:
  Default Storage Groups should be in /srv/mythtv instead of
  /var/lib/mythtv

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  According to FHS, we should be using /srv for the type of data we are
  storing rather than /var/lib. /srv is not wiped on live cd upgrade, so
  it has no relevance to that bug
