Hi, Well, the subject describes it all really. I am wondering if SUNWdbus should be in the jds-specs tree. Main reason for this is that in my opinion this is a system package with system funcionality, far away and outside of the gnome tree.
Little example of first hand experience: - One does a 'pkgtool uninstall-pkgs *.spec' , per the JDS build instructions. - One does a 'pkgtool build --download *.spec'. Now, asuming you don't run into any problems during compilations you can't open or close your CD-ROM tray for at least two hours (neither via the eject command or pressing the buttons on the drive) , until SUNWdbus is built. If you're unlucky, you build with '--halt-on-errors' or come to some package build failure which SUNWdbus depends on and you're stuck with a non working CD-ROM drive for even longer. I don't think SUNWdbus is part of GNOME2 under Solaris 10 update4 either honestly.. Isn't it more sense making to move a package that controls hardware to the system rather than to an optional GUI? What if people don't want to use gnome at all and whipe it from their system to save up diskspace? I've seen the GNOME source stack depend on other things outside the GNOME stack already (SUNWltdl).. Unless changing this would mean an ARC review of course, then we'd be a couple of headaches and months further I reckon, not sure if that's worth it... Patrick
