Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: cfengine3.3.3 binaries no longer install in /usr/local/sbin Author: sauer Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,26176,26233#msg-26233
Wasn't there a big debacle with upgrading from 3.0.5 where the post-install scriptlet would delete all of the binaries because the location was changed? https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/view.php?id=439 https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/view.php?id=524 Can the packagers perhaps just make a decision and stick with it? It's a tad frustrating in an environment where I have to simultaneously run different versions to also need a bunch of version-based promises just to make sure that the binaries are all in the places they're supposed to be. In my not-at-all-humble opinion, the /usr/local/sbin (or /usr/sbin, personally) location was the right decision - based upon the filesystem usage model described in the Linux FHS. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE31 I can see running copies out of /var; Mark's got a fine argument for that. But having the only copy of the binary be placed under /var? Hrmmm. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
