"lib" does not make any sense. It didn't for /var/lib/(www|
mysql|<whatever>) and it certainly doesn't for /srv.
Agreed. After all "lib" is short for "library", is it not? What does
"library" have to do with, well, anything that's currently found under the
/var/lib/ directory?
If collision avoidance is what you're interested in, name
it /srv/fedora[(-services)]/<packagename> or something. Personally,
I'm fine with anything. The sanity that administering and maintaining
systems that moving data to /srv brings is enough to satisfy me.
As for ensuring that all the data that needs long-term storage be
moved from /var: I don't see how that could be hard, but it will be a
long, drawn-out process. Definitely worth the effort, though.
Right.
