No, applications which happen to be written in PHP are not intended to
be covered by these guidelines. There is a section at the end of the
main guidelines (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines)
which covers web applications (written in PHP or otherwise):
Web applications packaged in Fedora should put their content into
/usr/share/%{name} and NOT into /var/www/. This is done because:
* /var is supposed to contain variable data files and
logs. /usr/share is much more appropriate for this.
* Many users already have content in /var/www, and we do not want
any Fedora package to step on top of that.
* /var/www is no longer specified by the Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard
If you think something should be added, please feel free to send your
proposal to the fedora-packaging list so that we can discuss it.
