Hi,

while installing the latest vermillion (87 on x86) build I noticed a few
things:

For the JDS cluster of packages the installer didn't remove the old
packages, so I ended up with duplicate packages like SUNWjdsver.2 and so
on. Easy fix was to add all packages from the jds dir into
jds/.remove-always (as a precaution I did this for all packages in all
related dirs ;-))

I had a number of SFE packages installed of which some are now
integrated and renamed to SUNW* So the attempt to install these packages
(like SUNWgnome-python-extras) made the installer barf and suspend
pkgadd. Maybe the installer could warn about conflicts with SFE packages
that are now part of the SUNW world.

For whatever reason I ended up having empty Applications, Preferences
and Administration menus. in /etc/xdg/menus I found a file
applications.menu~11 which I renamed to applications.menu and thus got
the menu entry back. Still looking for the corresponding file for the
other menus though. Looks like some script trying to merge the old menu
stuff with the new ones messed things up a little.

Another minor point of annoyance is the creation of several directories
in the users home (Pictures, Videos, Music etc) where would one disable
that?

And the really, really really annoying new thing is that all new
terminals start the shell with cwd ~/Desktop. Where does one get this
back to the good ol' home?

 Bernd
