Notes on software installation.
We have two places under /afs/bx.psu.edu to install software outside of the package manager.
pkg
Software that targets a specific architecture gets installed to /afs/bx.psu.edu/pkg/$name-$version/$arch by convention.
It is then made visible under user $PATH's using GNU stow
and some symlink magic.
cd /afs/.bx.psu.edu/system/$arch/afs-pkg ln -s ../../../pkg/$name-$version/$arch stow $name-$version vos release system.$arch
misc/apps
Architecture-independent software. There are some i686 and x86_64 directories here that used to be used for specific arches, before we started using the method outlined above
