Re: Availability of Amanda Solaris10/Open Solaris package

Hi Paddy,
It's great that there is a packaged version of Amanda again.
Why are you installing it /usr/libexec/*, /usr/bin & /var/lib/amanda?
I don't mean to be a troll but there are many standard (sic) places to
place third party software on Solaris such as /usr/sfw, /opt/csw,
/usr/local. I know of several sysadmins who would refuse to install the
package on the grounds of lack of separation of OS and third-part apps.
Does anyone know what *Sun* recommends? Personally I'd go for
/opt/<something>/*, /var/opt/amanda/*, /etc/opt/amanda but that's a
*personal* preference before somebody flames me ;-)
Regards,
Nick
p.s. I've also been playing with creating Solaris packages for 2.6.0.pX
and have made some progress with getting clean installs of SMF
manifests. Let me know if you like me to contribute them.
