All,
I'm just testing out asterisk-1.2.0 on Solaris, and apart from
finding a
couple of Makefile compatibility issues (oops, should have does
this before
1.2.0 was released, but assumed other Solaris people would have
looked at it -
patch being submitted to bugtracker shortly), I've noticed that
someone has
snuck in a change to the install destination for Solaris, which
I'm not in
favour of, so I'm asking here for some ideas for the best way to
fix this.
On linux (and all other platforms except Solaris), asterisk ends
up in:
/etc/asterisk/
/usr/lib/asterisk
/var/lib/asterisk
/var/spool/asterisk
/usr/sbin
[etc]
On Solaris (now), it ends up in:
/opt/asterisk/...
/var/opt/asterisk/
/etc/opt/asterisk/
...
Thoughts?
Simon
These are the "official" locations on Solaris, for a package named
"asterisk".
This has been the standard (on Solaris) for at least a decade. I
believe
that Asterisk should comply with platform conventions where
practical, and
this is one of those times.
How about no. Or do end-users not have any input? :)
Make it configurable as Simon suggests. Then I can install it where it
makes sense to me, and others can install it where it makes sense to
them.
"Because that's how we've always done it" always fails to impress me as
a good reason for anything. If there is an actual compelling reason
to do so, sure.
