Hi Can we consider the following as well IPS
- package dependency mechanism should be improved so that we can identify by a component name - rather than package name as in the current case. for example, a joomla IPS should detect that apache > 2.2 , mysql >= 5.0 and php >= 5.2 is available on the system and should proceed with installation rather than looking for SUNWapch22, SUNWmysql5, SUNWphp524 etc - ability to query and list the number of components that are using or depending upon a given file (say /usr/lib/libopenssl.so) . I am not sure, if we can do this currently - but a more straight forward way to do this would be very useful. thanks sriram Glynn Foster wrote: > Hey, > > While we're already neck deep in development towards producing a > release in November, it seemed like a good idea to start putting > together a problem statement for 2008.11, much like we did for 2008.05. > > Back then, the problem statement stood for a set of lofty goals for > what we wanted to achieve, rather than a set of hard requirements we > needed to keep.
