ProFTPD pakage for opensolaris
In opensolaris there is no proftpd package, so I decide to build it and to make a pkg
First, you must decide how many packages you will need and what will be their names
the distributables names have the form:
<$PKG>-<$VERSION>--<$ARCH>-local[.tgz]
where local means that the package is installable on /opt or /usr/local
According to the solaris filesystem ( man filesystem ), add-on software could install files only on:
/opt/
/etc/opt/
/var/opt/
/var/svc/manifest
/var/tmp
/usr/local is not an SVR4 approved directory: /usr is availble only for Solaris bundled software; exceptionally, /usr/local could be a softlink to /opt/local
the usernames are limited to 8 characters.
In opensolaris the pkg have the name format XXXyyy, where XXX is the name of the of company and tge yyy is the name of the software.For example, SUNWpostgr-83-libs
So, let's start work on the proftpd pkg file.
