  A manifest should go in:

    /var/svc/manifest/site/... - for site-local additions
    /var/svc/manifest/... - for everything else

  A method should go in:
    
    /lib/svc/method - for things which ship with Solaris
    /opt/packagename/... - for add-on packages
    (though methods are just executables; they can go anywhere)

  See this thread:

  for more details.

  This question come up quite often; we should really add it to the
  FAQ.
