Can we ponder about the /etc stuff a bit? From working with other people using OpenCSW i know that there is always some kind of confusion as to where to find configuration files. Most are in /opt/csw/etc, but some are in /etc/opt/csw. Our file layout standards page [1] says that machine-specific files should go to /etc/opt/csw, but even i as a maintainer sometimes find it difficult to decide whether to place them there or not. Furthermore IIRC there have been discussions on the list about issues with sparse zone installations and configuration files beneath /opt. >From that perspective i would second this change also (only one place to look for configs, smoother integration with zones), but then there has been Rupert who raised some concerns about not being able to just share out /opt/csw any more [2]. Is this common? Is it a requirement that we can break in order to eventually just have /etc/opt/csw or how would it work?
