Hi all,

It looks like /lib/svc/method and /var/svc/manifest are the approved
locations for Solaris SMF methods and manifests respectively.  What
are the approved locations for addon software packages, in the way
that /etc/opt/packagename and /var/opt/packagename are used for
config and log files?  (My guess would be /lib/opt/svc/method and
/var/opt/svc/manfiest respectively, perhaps with a packagename before
"svc", e.g., /lib/opt/packagename/svc/method.)

Incidentally, why are manifests stored under /var?  The filesystem
man page says that /var is for variable files that can grow while
the system is running, and that /etc is the place for configuration
files.  It strikes me that manifests are config files, and should
therefore be under /etc (i.e., /etc/svc/manifest)...

Cheers,
