Dick:
As OpenSolaris is developing slowly packeges that first existed as SFEpkgs are replaced by SUNWpkgs. However, how do I -KNOW- a SFEpkg is no longer needed because as of this new release it is part of the distribution? I do not want packages that are "in the way" of each other.
When a SFE module is integrated by the desktop team, the naming is usually the same (or very similar) except instead of SFEpkg, the name is SUNWpkg. This isn't always true, but is a good general rule. You can check to see if a package with a similar name is installed on the system already. If the files the SFE package will install are already on the system, then this would also be a giveaway. Review the %files section of the SFE spec-file, and see if the files that are installed by the package are already installed on the system. It is good to check both /usr and /usr/sfw since some free software modules get installed to /usr/sfw. It might be good if we cleaned up SFE and put modules which are already integrated into a separate subdirectory. It is probably good to keep the spec-files around so that people using older builds of Solaris or OpenSolaris can build them if they want.
