[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (DIR-232) Solaris package installs content in the wrong place

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIR-232?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12615037#action_12615037 ]

----------------------------------------------------------------

So prior to installing the Solaris 1.5.3 package, I ripped apart the package using pkgtrans and took a look at the pkgmap.  By convention, packages that install content in /opt should use /var/opt to install their var content.  Current, ADS has this:

1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3 0744 root root
1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default 0744 root root
1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/conf 0744 root root
1 f none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/conf/apacheds.conf 0644 root root 1400 55365 1216185769
1 f none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/conf/log4j.properties 0644 root root 1889 27319 1216185769
1 f none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/conf/server.xml 0644 root root 10871 23013 1216185769
1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/ldif 0744 root root
1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/log 0744 root root
1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/partitions 0744 root root
1 d none /var/lib/apacheds-1.5.3/default/run 0744 root root


It should really be using /var/opt/apacheds as stated by the filesystem(5) man page. 

Other points:
- version numbers are generally not a good idea.  If it is required, it would be better to layer it:  /opt/apacheds/1.5.3/blah, /var/opt/apacheds/1.5.3/blah, ...  
- Files that change shouldn't be type f, they should be type v.  otherwise pkgchk will break.
