Repository location according to FHS

[Patrick John Hays <pu...@elbubba.com>]

If I want my repositories to be compliant with the File Hierarchy Standard, 
where should I put them given that they will be used by more than one user 
and thus don't really belong in home directories.

It almost seems they should go someplace under /var/opt but subversion isn't 
installed under /opt so that seems inconsistent.

My vote is for something like:

/srv/svn/repo/name-of-project

This is probably the most-correct way to do it, but very few distros 
currently support /srv out of the box. Most still rely on /var (e.g. 
Debian likes to stuff CVS repositories into /var/cvs).

Luckily, you can put the repo anywhere you like, and symlink it to 
somewhere in /srv. But in practice, it is probably more important to 
follow your distro's current conventions for real repository locations 
if they don't follow the latest FHS standards.
