Richard,
I'd suggest not removing anything from the closed tarball (for reasons
other than it's movement to usr/src, obviously)
While bits of it maybe unused, they're also covered under the
OpenSolaris binary license, that allows for their redistribution.
which shouldn't be an issue for empty directories which just create build
noise. Otherwise, I agree in principle, but it would be very useful if the
distributed bits could match package boundaries (or useful new split-off
packages) if at all possible.
Most definitely, I wasn't attempting to disagree with that :)
(though if the these packages moved into closed/pkgdefs that wouldn't be
such an issue, no?).
There are a few empty directories in the closed tarball that serve a
purpose, and aren't worth splitting out (I believe two or three locale
directories, I assume created by the libc_i18n build?), but mostly I
suspect the empty directories are an artifact of the way the tarball is
generated.
At the moment, what is distributed and
what's missing sometimes seems completely arbitrary (and I think this work
has already uncovered a couple of places where there were oversights).
I agree with that, certainly :)
