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 ...

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