Package: cricket
Version: 1.0.5-10
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
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.

* Thanks Mats Erik Andersson for the following fix :
o Resolve the 'dir-or-file-in-var-www' RC-bug. (Closes: #553531)
+ Remove linking of '/var/www/cricket/images' to
'/usr/share/cricket/images'.
+ Insert the correct path '/usr/share/cricket/images/failed.png' into
'mini-graph.cgi' and 'grapher.cgi'. The old link would have fetched
the image from this location anyway.
