yikes. Trouble is, this goes directly against official, external (SUN, and SVR4 documented) standards. At least you acknowlege that, even for you, config files "locally" may have some advantage in some cases though :) >so, the principal issue i can see is: how would we be able to >configure if /etc or /opt/csw/etc is used ? Please note: it is specifically /etc/opt/csw, not just "/etc". So, one work around you could do, in those places where you choose to go against standards, would be to make /etc/opt/csw be a loopback mount for /opt/csw/etc. (to be specific in direction: mount -F lofs /opt/csw/etc /etc/opt/csw ) other, more package-individual ways, would be to make the symlinks /etc/opt/csw/foo.conf -> /opt/csw/etc/foo.conf, as Dago suggested. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
