Install locations when not using .deb

[Peter Teunissen <oneman@onemanifest.net>]

Hi All,


I'm trying to install CloverETL [1], a java based ETL tool. It's not in
the repository, and they don't provide a rpm or deb installer, only the
java apps etc. in a zip file or the java source. That's fine with me,
but I'd like to follow debian's guidelines on the FSH. I think I'm on
the right track but would like to check two things:

- should I use /usr/* etc. for this or is that reserved for .deb
installs and should I use /usr/local/* instead?

- assuming I use /usr/*, then after reading the Debian FSH guidlines in
the debian-policy package and looking at other installs, I thought of
installing in like this:
/usr/bin/ => 
        shellscript for setting env var and starting the CloverETL
        engine itself
/usr/lib/ => 
        the CloverETL engine itself
        the _contents_ of the lib folder that came with de engine
        the plugin folder 
/usr/share/doc/cloveretl/
        the documentation
        the example files
Does that look right?

- I'm not sure about where to put the javadoc stuff. Should it go
into /usr/doc/cloveretl/ also or somewhere else?


I hope someone with some DIY install experience can fill me out on this.
