How do I install such a package in an alternate root?
Or are such packages only installable on a running system?
Designing features into the packaging system that are unusable
in any context but a live install on a properly configured
system is a major source of breakage.
It is a requirement that the packaging system be able to
install packages onto an alternate root. It is not a requirement
that the packaging system be Turing complete, or that you
can use it as a remote execution framework.
You can implement this w/ actuators in IPS; it will require
a SMF service to be running to handle your post-installation
tasks. Note that packages built this way will actually work
on alternate root install, with Oracle running once that
environment is booted.
