I created a bug for this with the list of packages that I've discovered (3570) Alan's also added some good comments -- I'm not 100% sure it's complete. Do we want to include 'everything needed' or just 'stuff not included in the default install'? I.e. gcc, perl, sed, grep, mv, rm, ln, erep, nawk, cp, mcs, etc. might want to be included in that case -- though those could probably be found through some processing of the ON makefiles. I'll leave the part about being concerned about some of the actual requirements (such as postgres & apache) for a later day since it's seems I'm alone in my opinion. _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
