I think you'd first have to convince baselayout people. See bug #41519 and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/15629 (/media is mentioned in that thread as well). If you want /media or /srv, then do it. But we cannot document something that does not exist in official baselayout at all. I suggest WONTFIX. jakub is right, no documentation updates until our baselayout will contain such directories. Marking WONTFIX. I think it's not acceptable to say "The baselayout doesn't have /media, so we won't recomment mounting cdroms in /media". If the baselayout doesn't have the /media directory but the FHS says removeable media should be mounted there instead of /mnt, the baselayout should be fixed. I'll submit this Bug to the baselayout folks. It's the same thing with the /srv directory. You can read the FHS for information about that. If it's the same argument "The baselayout doesn't have /srv" -- that's just another reason to fix the baselayout. We will fix docs when our base herd changes baselayout. No need to REOPEN until it actually happens. Okay :-) I'm pretty new in Bugzilla ... sorry ... No problem, just try to understand us, we can't write about something which didn't happen, when baselayout will have those changes, we will document immediately. :) I opened Bug #104978 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104978) in the baselyout section. Perhaps, it will have more success than the other bug related to this issue. But what about wour opinion? Should this be changed? Sorry, I posted the wrong number: it's Bug #105078 ;-) Reopening to close correctly Since baselayout won't change anytime soon (bug #105078), We'll track this bug thru that. Marking LATER for now. Closing this bug as per Josh's request in gentoo-doc's ML. Reopening to mark properly, part one. Sorry for bugspam. CANTFIX as we can't document something not supported by the "upstream" (baselayout in this case) folks. |
