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 tried to keep the same location as Linux versions. See
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amanda_packages_from_Zmanda_downloads_page

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.

If there is standard location for Solaris, please let us know. We
would be happy to incorporate it.

Hi Paddy,

What is the opinion of other Amanda administrators?

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

Anyway, should we move this thread to the amanda-hackers list?
