Re: PREFIX and /etc

[Devin Reade <gdr@gno.org>]

The port is apcupsd.  My original motivation for using /sbin and
/etc was because I wasn't sure that I was gauranteed that the
/usr/local partition would remain mounted long enough during the
shutdown process.  Introducing confusion from SysV land, I was
expecting non-root partitions to be unmounted and the root partition
to possibly be remounted read-only.

However, after rereading the source to shutdown(8), reboot(8) and
/etc/rc, it appears that OpenBSD will _never_ unmount partitions
during the shutdown sequence, in which case it is safe to leave
apcupsd's binaries and conf files in the /usr/local hierarchy.

Would anyone care to do a bullshit check on the above assumption?
