Probably should not be stored in /var/sipxdata/upload -- it would be very confusing. This directory is created and managed by sipXconfig to track the firmware it knows about. You are trying to add the firmware sipXconfig does *not* know about. Better not to do that. Besides sooner or later someone will add 'devicefiles' as a frimware type. Also firmware RPMs should not rely on sipXconfig RPM being installed and consequently it should not rely on any directories that are managed by sipXconfig. I like Carolyn's proposal much better.
