Just a quick look turned out a 404 error on the FHS2.3 link. ( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ ?) I am not very read in LSB, but just saw there is a 3.x version... What about LSB 3.x? Is it the same recomendation? Although I run quite a bunch of services on a few boxes, I don't see this whole idea (/srv). I read the GLEP, I read [FHS#srv] but still. And it says: "The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done." So how does Gentoo implement it? [FHS#svg] http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM And as the GLEP talks about webapps, what will an upgrade of a webapp (say Bugzilla) to/from srv? I feel it breaking and user screaming. And a few general comments: Hmm, the GLEP index page [a] shows GLEP 20 with status "SA" which according to the legend is "Standards Track + Accepted". The [1] above has status "Approved" which might be the same, but why is not there consistency in terms? If it is approved/accepted doesn't it mean it is implemented by somebody?
