Details

The phpmyadmin package installs into /srv/www. This is inconsistent to everything else in Arch Linux. httpd data is stored in /home/httpd. Therefor, phpmyadmin should reside in /home/httpd/phpMyAdmin.

/srv/www is completely unused in Arch Linux.

Please fix this.

actually, all www packages should be installed to /srv/www as per FHS. File a bug for apache to move instead.

I don't want to join a discussion about whether it should reside in this or that path -- I would be perfectly happy with both solutions.

To put it simple, everything else related uses /home/httpd/ in Arch Linux, since ages. The phpmyadmin package should obey this too, due to consistency concerns; not due to personal taste.

If you want apache to use /srv/www on a standard Arch installation, why not kick off a discussion about it and have a decision made about it *first*.

What about lighttpd? It has its own directory (/home/lighttpd last I checked). What happens to www packages then?

I'm going to close this.
1) there are repors for apache, lighttpd, FHS and /srv/www already
2) there are plans to move all webservers' docroots to /srv/www, just not much time from devs to implement this
3) IMO web apps should be *always* installed by hand and not with pacman, IMO all webapps packages shouldn't even exist in repos,
and anyway with the current situation of different docroots for different servers, user has to modify the installed package, so that supports my argument about the uselessness of such packages.
