Has anyone else given the new Solaris packaging scripts a try? Is
there anyone who would want to give prebuilt packages a try if I
upload them somewhere?
One major improvement since my last email: the packaging now does RPM-
style handling of the files in etc. If you change any of etc files,
they will be left when the package is removed and when you install
OpenNMS again, the new etc file will be installed with the extension
".rpmnew" (yeah, yeah, I stile the name).
There a few things that the package does automatically post-install
that I'm considering making optional or removing altogether:
1. Running "runjava"
2. Running the installer
3. Executing "svcadm enable opennms"
What do you think?
