- 1-click/hands-off setup for the build-environment - documentation how to integrate pkgbuild/pkgtool/common-build-environment and SunStudio into a Distribution (think indiana/belenix/all others).
- pkgbuild --parseable-softwarelist to feed this output into a local Index in e.g. a Software-Selection Menu to the end-user/Administrator - relocatable packages, e.g. student installes his own copy of program SFExchat into his $HOME this would make the Admin-intervention obsolete (think: Workstation-Pool) he/she selects the software from a Software-Selection Menu - instant-build Software-Selection Menu provides un-build Software, if selected dependencies are resolved and Sources are fetched and build instantly - click-and-build URL support. User clicks on a URL on the Web/chat/Email and pkgbuild does an instant build Regards, Thomas On Fri, Oct 12, 2007 at 08:50:35AM -0700, Glynn Foster wrote: > Hey, > > Dermot McCluskey wrote: > > We are gathering requirements for the next phase of development of pkgbuild, > > the tool we use to build Solaris' GNOME Desktop from RPM-like spec files. > > > > If there are particular features that you would like to see included, but > > are not > > listed below, please reply to this thread giving details.
