Looked at it and it might then need an extra chapter. I will see what I can do, because then you would also add some information to FTP and WWW.
Please dont. This is not documentation on how you setup a FTP or HTTP installation server. This is documentation about how you create a installation source. I chose the www directory as example because it makes sense. Not because this is how you should do it. If you want to write a howto on setting up an installation server, do that. But not inside this document.
If you read the rest, I hope you understand I have the same sentiment. However for you the HTTP as an example makes sence. For me using /usr/src/packages/RPMS makes more sence, because that is where these things are.
Ok then just use that as example directory.
And still I am curious what is better. Place them in /usr and symlink to /srv or place them in /srv and symlink to /usr
This is were you step in the realm of an installation server and leave the realm of installation sources. It does not matter where the installation source is located on your disk. The directory is just an example. As apache2 in the default configuration does not follow symlinks and especially does not follow symlinks outside of the document root placing the packages in /srv and make /usr/src/packages a link is the better choice.
