Hi Mark,

I disagree.  Only the runtime data should go to /var, the code should
stay under /usr (and it should be immutable). I presume we are still
talking about pre-packaged applications, right? Nothing will stop
individual users from starting their own web2py instances with any
directory layout they want.

I'm not the final authority on this matter, and I might be wrong with
my interpretation of the packaging guidelines. You can try asking for
advice on the debian-devel mailing list, but I think you'll hear the
same arguments from other debian developers as you've heard from me.
You could try convincing the debian community that this package is
important enough to make an exception from the rules. Good luck with
that.

Again, I don't think this problem is specific to Debian. All
distributions try to separate code from runtime data, only some of
them are stricter than the others.

Regards,
Dima.
