I wonder whether we can simply use /var (not sure what might be best out of /var/www/shiny-server or /var/lib/shiny-server or ???) for the "real" installation and use a symlink to /srv/shiny-server (which can be even set via debconf or in prominent documentation). This puts the files in the right place per FHS but does not lead to big surprises at user side. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
