Hopefully I'm not too far off topic for this list. Forgive and/or
flame me if I am.

Astbill's installation paths seem to be setup and hard coded for a
linux installation. Although these paths will work with FreeBSD, I
don't think they are in accourdance with hier(7). I've appended the
areas I think may be problems. My question is, how are other
FreeBSDers handling this. I did the old 'ln -s' thing, but that
doesn't sit well with me. I looked through the config files but didn't
see a way to change the default paths. Anyone out there with an
Astbill install that follows hier(7) standards? On a side note, I was
thinking of trying to get astbill into ports (after fixing these
issues). Anyone think that is (or isn't) worth the effort?

Places where astbill *may* not follow hier(7):

- The first thing I noticed right off the bat is that it uses
'/etc/asterisk' instead of
   '/usr/local/etc/asterisk'.

- It also uses '/var/lib/asterisk' when I think that it is supposed to use
  '/usr/local/lib/asterisk'.

- Finally, afaik, the real meat of astbill can go pretty much anywhere you want.
  But the docs recommend '/usr/home/astbill' w/ a symlink from your webroot to
  /usr/local/www/astbill/wwwroot. I would think that it should be
'/usr/local/www/astbill',
  with '/usr/local/www/astbill/wwwroot' being my webroot. I'm *really*
unsure about
  that one though.

Thanks
