Hi, I have installed the last RAV antivirus for FreeBSD. The old version rightly install in the /usr/local/rav8 . The new one pretend to install in /opt/rav /etc/rav and so on ... I wrote them an email: >>Hi, >>I downloaded the latest RAV for sendmail milter and I see that the paths >>for the files are completly wrong for a BSD sistem. >> >>It want to install in opt/rav (wrongly). >>Perhaps it is right for a linux distributions, but not for a FreeBSD one, >>where the installed package different from the base system have to live >>in /usr/local . >>The previous version was right ... >> >>Please fix it asap please ... And they answer: >Dear Sir, > >The new locations for RAV were made conforming to the new FHS 2.2 >(Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) >http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/ >Anyway, the product was released and we cannot change now this. > > >Best Regards, >Alin Dobre. >-- >Alin Dobre >Linux Technical Support Engineer - GeCAD The Software Company (this last line can explain a lot of thing :-) I am replying: >Dear sir, please make a version with the old pathname too... >In the FreeBSD hier this path is not existent and with the kernel security >modified it should also create problem. >All the port go and should go in /usr/local.

Is a right thing to insist on old layout or it can be accepted the new (ugly) one ? Thanks for attention...
