We've been putting the primary instance of openpkg in a directory that
reflects the type of system, then symlinking that to /csoft. Thus for SuSE
8.1, FreeBSD 4.7, Caldera OpenLinux 3.1.1, and Caldera eDesktop 2.4 we have
directories:
/home/csoft/suse81
/home/csoft/freebsd47
/home/csoft/col311
/home/csoft/coled24
Using the symlink to /csoft allows us to reference our openpkg as
/csoft/xxx regardless of the system, simplifying external references.
