Great document Dave, I'm fairly new to the solaris world (but with a lot of experience from linux/windows/bsd world) and this document summarizes all the things that I was just "feeling" for me.
My question is, are there any concrete plans for packaging format? You seem to have agreed upon going the anaconda way for the installer (by building caiman), but I have not found any proposal regarding the underlying package format. Are there any evaluation studies, or are you planning to do them, or are you planning to invent yet another packaging format for Solaris world (IMHO a very bad idea). thanx, Martin Dave Miner wrote: > Greetings, Installation community members! > > I've just posted for discussion a document that I've been working on for > the past couple of months: a draft strategy for Solaris installation. > > The document discusses the current state of Solaris installation in > relation to customer requirements, and proposes a set of features and > projects designed to address the requirements. > > Please understand that this is a proposal; while it's had some > preliminary review by a small number of people in Solaris engineering, > this is the first time it's been widely disseminated and thus I expect > to receive, and incorporate, a great deal of feedback which will evolve > it from this point. > > I would appreciate review comments by April 14.
