Package: iptotal
Version: 0.3.3-8
Severity: serious
User: lintian-maint@debian.org
Usertags: dir-or-file-in-var-www

Debian packages should not install files under /var/www. This is not
one of the /var directories in the File Hierarchy Standard and is
under the control of the local administrator. Packages should not
assume that it is the document root for a web server; it is very
common for users to change the default document root and packages
should not assume that users will keep any particular setting. 

Packages that want to make files available via an installed web server
should instead put instructions for the local administrator in a
README.Debian file and ideally include configuration fragments for
common web servers such as Apache.

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.

Refer to Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (The /var Hierarchy) for
details.

One solution that works is to put configuration files into
/etc/<package_name>, put static content, if any, into
/usr/{share,lib}/<package_name>, then create /var/lib/<package name>
as home for the package, and symlink the files from /etc and /usr/
into the /var/lib/<package_name>. Then create a simple set of
configuration snippets for popular web servers (for example, files one
may link into /etc/apache2/conf.d) and put them into
/etc/<package_name>. This way user modifiable files stil live in /etc,
and a simple operation can make the package go live.

Filed as serious, since this is a violation of the FHS (which is part
of policy), and also since a package with these files will currently
get this package rejected. See
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg00004.html
for details. This means the package has been deemed too buggy to be in
Debian.

Closes: 317260 473843 553536
Changes: 
 iptotal (0.3.3-9) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New maintainer. (Closes: #473843)
   * debian/rules:
     - Moved the copying of /usr/share/misc/config.{sub,guess} from the clean
       section to the configure section. And added functions to backup/restore
       the config{sud,guess} files provided by upstream.
     - Changed the data directory from /var/www/iptotal to
       /usr/lib/iptotal/ (user content) and /usr/share/iptotal/www (static).
       (Closes: #553536)
     - Moved configuration file from /etc/ to /etc/iptotal/ directory.
     - Added dh_lintian in the binary-arch section to install the override file.
   * debian/control:
     - Added build dependency on autotools-dev.
   * debian/patches:
     - Added 05_fix_old_fixes.dpatch: Includes all changes made by original
       maintainer outside the debian/ directory.
     - Updated the 00list placing 05_fix_old_fixes.dpatch before
       04_fix_kbytes_sufixes.dpatch.
   * debian/init:
     - Renamed debian/init.d to debian/init.
     - Added a short description.
     - Forced deletion of the pid file as daemon does not take care of this.
     - Added support for /etc/default/iptotal
     - Added force-start option, to start the daemon, ignoring the content of
       the /etc/default/iptotal file.
   * debian/postinst:
     - Reloads apache2 configuration.
     - As installation path has changed in this release, added a temporary
       copying of old files to the new working directory, to prevent data
       history loss.
   * debian/copyright:
     - Updated copyright file format.
   * Added apache configuration file (i.e. debian/apache.conf).
   * Added debian/dirs to create both cgi and working directories.
   * Added debian/links to link the static content to the working directory
     (i.e. /usr/lib/iptotal).
   * Added debian/install file in order to clean up the debian/rules file.
   * Added debian/postrm file to reload apache2 configuration after purging
     or removing the iptotal package.
   * Added debian/default file, in order to easily disable iptotald.
     (Closes: #317260)
   * Moved iptotal.8 man page to the debian/ directory as it isn't provided
     by upstream.
   * Added a lintian override of package-contains-empty-directory, as the
     /usr/lib/iptotal/archive/ directory is intentionally created empty during
     the initial installation.
