Hello I'm currently packaging NIC drivers, and I looked at the SUNW NIC drivers' pkginfo files to see how Sun handles zones in these.
What I found is that both SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES and SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW are equal to "true". This causes the driver packages to show up but not actually be installed in zones. So my question is this: what is the purpose of setting SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW to true? What is the reason behind having empty driver packages in zones? I've been trying to figure out possible implications of setting both SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES and SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW to "false", but I know from experience that when Sun engineers do something, there must be some reason for it.
