Hi,

Old Optware use : /usr/local/AppCentral/optware
Old astware : /usr/local/AppCentral/astware
previous version of entware (before merging sources) ... but internally update to new feeds ...
entwrae-ng : /usr/local/AppCentral/entware-ng

Now entware (new updated) use : /usr/local/AppCentral/entware

But ... why this question ? if you use one of them entware installer check and write a log message ... did you have a specific reason to check it ?
