Hi,

While moving my files to a new workstation I stumbled across
/srv/www. The directory contains a mix of self written stuff and
distro packages. So I needed to take care to only copy my own files.
I'd assume that someone who actually uses /srv/www in production and
cared about the content would have a similar problem when creating
backups. The apache packages allows other packages to simply
drop a config file into /etc/apache2/conf.d and install e.g. a
custom directory alias this way. So files that need to be accessible
via http://somehost/foo do not actually need to be stored at
/srv/www/htdocs/foo but can reside in e.g. /usr/share/foo. So I
wonder what's best practice for packages. Dump stuff into /srv/www
or use aliases in the web server config? FHS is quite unspecific wrt
use of /srv [1].
