I think you misunderstood, Russ is saying that /sys is the sysadmin's domain and nothing should be installed there by Debian packages. That isn't incompatible with Luke's opinion that databases should be stored in /srv rather than /var/lib/. I agree with that and think the sysadmin should decide where they want to store system data (inc databases, websites, ftp upload directories, cvs repositories, etc). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
