Hi,
I'm looking for a standard/official specification for the filesystem
hierarchy used on FreeBSD (and all BSDs) regarding commercial products.
Conforming to hier(7) the PREFIX (/usr/local) location should be used
for local packages. And there the /usr hierarchy should be used.
Let's suppose I have to install a commercial product named 'foo'. The
package contains binaries, libraries, logs, UNIX sockets, temporary
files, configuration files and periodically updated data files.
Does the following directory structure conform to standards?
PREFIX/foo/{bin, lib, etc, tmp, log, data, run...}
or should it be:
PREFIX/bin/foo
PREFIX/lib/foo
PREFIX/etc/foo
PREFIX/libdata/foo/{tmp, log, data, run..}?
Is there any other solution? I will greatly appreciate your help.
Best regards.
