Hi,

I'm the owner of the "mtst" package but must admit that I don't know much about how IPS packaging works.

The mtst package(s) is internal only and so is rightly part of repo.extra but all of repo.extra seems to depend and be part of the osnet consolidation.

"mtst" should not depend on any other packages at all, but even more importantly no packages or consolidations should depend on it. It is NOT to be sent to customer sites.

Is there any way I can remove any dependencies from the mtst package? The manifest file is here:

usr/src/pkg/manifests/system-fault-management-mtst.mf

I tried adding the following line but it did not have the desired effect:
set name=org.opensolaris.nodepend value=true

Removing the following line caused the manifest to be part of repo.redist instead of repo.extra so I added it back:
set name=org.opensolaris.redist value=internal

Ideally I'd like very loose version checking as well, but that is not a must have. Can I define looser version checking in the manifest file that will override any default version checking? I mean things like:
depend fmri=pkg:/[email protected] type=require
  vs
depend fmri=pkg:/j...@1 type=require


Any help is much appreciated, cheers,
