I'm packaging teapop (POP3 server that handles virtual hosts etc.) at
the moment, and although the default configuration will not have such
beasties in it, I want to at least include an example... and later on
it would be nice to configure such things at least semi-automatically.
So, /var/local is out 'cos it won't be local.
/srv is "prohibited" by the current FHS.
Short of getting the FHS changed, where do I put 'em? (I don't want to
take on the FHS until I've at least got used to the packaging process...
My inclination is still to do more-or-less what I have been doing, and
stick them in a new subdirectory of /var. And change the FHS later ;)
Cheers,
Nick
