Hi, IPS experts,
As I know, that VRRP (now the system/network/routing/vrrp package) was
part of the Solaris default install before IPS, but it seems that is no
longer the case. May I ask:
1. What is the criteria to decide which package is/is not in the default
install?
There are actually multiple different "default installs". One is the
liveCD, which uses "slim_install", which is desktop-focused, and
constrained by the CD size.
server_install is now used by default by the text installer and AI, and is
more server focused.
Both are calls made by the release lead as to what to include, and is a
tradeoff between space and common usage. Not every package will be
installed anymore, and there are many very useful features left out of the
default install.
2. What changes are needed if we'd like to make a package in the default
install?
The appropriate package would need to have a dependency added, and those
packages are defined in the IPS consolidation. As I said, defined by the
release lead.
