Dear maintainers, a few days ago, I suggested a mass bug filing on your packages, i.e. almost all web servers in the archive, to achieve a common canonical DocRoot for web applications installed through package management. The goal is to more clearly state where web apps should put publicly available files and avoid a per package configuration for our web servers. Right now some packages configure apache2 and one or two other web servers during postinst with help of debconf. Other packages don't even bother. We discussed a possible solution and I'm willing to file bugs. Unfortunately just a few maintainers of packages providing httpd took part in the discussion and I'm thus writing you directly to look for some response. This goal is *only* achievable if we're on the same page here. Find my MBF proposal at [1] and the discussion in the thread around it for more details. Please, do *not* simply answer this mail but rather target your concerns and appreciation at the thread on debel-devel for the discussion to take place there in public. Thanks and sorry for this mass mail (which almost is a MBF :)) Hauke [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/11/msg00274.html
