Would a symlink from /var/lib/mysql to /srv/mysql work? Or would there be issues with some things not working, because it is a symlink?
IMHO compatibility symlinks are "ugly" and should be avoided where possible. Changing the working directory of software packages is a very difficult thing. It has the potential to upset quite a lot of users. What some of you might possibly know that there are many rumours out there that "SUSE uses different directory layouts than the rest of the world and moves config files and working directories around all the time". This is really one of the typical things that non-SUSE users frequently say about SUSE. With that in mind, I propose that nothing is changed unless the current solution really *violates* the FHS, which I doubt. Moving things around just because the new solution would comply a little bit better should be avoided if the current solution is also compliant.
