Don't know if this affects cfengine though, but worth noticing. /Alexander

Yes but cfengine concept is special, it is not just mgmt tool, but autocorrecting tool. The (official) purpose for having cfengine in /var/cfengine is because you can have /usr/local mounted via network which would make autocorrection of cfengine useless. cfengine should be installed locally on all hosts, not depending on sharing /usr or /usr/local, the best build statically. Scenario: you fucked up your fstab for network mounted /usr/local, then cfengine has not way to repair it as it is not available. And last one... This location is what upstream supports. jirib

This above is not fully true, we have unbound in /var/unbound, config files, there because of chroot. binaries are in /usr/local. tomcat in /var/tomcat... main parts are in /usr/local/tomcat (like a handful of other java things, it really wants its own files together), config is in /etc/tomcat (symlinked from /var/tomcat/conf), logs/webapps etc go in /var/tomcat.

I'm not saying it's impossible to put it there, but it would need a good reason to break with the standard. As the port stands the no dependence on /usr/local is invalid because it does have a dependence on libraries there, and upstream supports other locations enough to have added --enable-fhs.

Binaries outside /usr/local
Hi, After some comments of Jiri B on my cfengine port I'm trying to install everything inside /var/cfengine (also recommended by Cfengine). I've changed the Makefile and on 'make fake' everything is installed inside /var/cfengine, but when running make plist the new PLIST file is empty. What is the best way of achieving this? Kind regards, Martijn Rijkeboer
