Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I'd be breaking any rules by packaging this
software and placing the binaries and data files under /opt/empire?
I've been talking to upstream and their opinion is that making the
server FHS compliant isn't really feasible at the moment. This code
has been around for over 15 years and is ported to over 20
architectures and it has always been done this way. Upstream thinks it
would confuse old users more than anything else.
thanks,
johno
