Generally with /opt-style though you do have a slight separatation of directories. You typically have /opt /etc/opt /var/opt where package "xxx" may have a similary named directory under each of those. The general rule is that /opt is read-only. /etc/opt is for editable site-configuration (stuff that should survive reboots and not be overwritten on a software reinstall), and /var/opt is for temporary/transient files that can be deleted by reboots or overwritten on reinstalls. -- Deron Meranda
