Well, as a BSD user I believe that removing the SUNW prefix is a superset of including it. Since the information already exists in the FMRI, an option could be added that would include it in the listing (other options could be to include the version, a short description, etc.) On the other hand, hardcoding it into the package name would require the use of scripting to get the bare version. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
