The canonicial choices, listed alphabetically, are:
Are we talking about adding packaging to the source currently on OpenSolaris.org and by implication the packaging system for the Solaris product based on OpenSolaris or are we talking about packaging systems for future/current distributions ? Just like with Linux I kind of expected that each distribution that is based on OpenSolaris would do what suites them. In fact I'd really like to see OpenSolaris distributions that use rpm or deb as their defaults - if for no other reason than to prove it can be done but - because this will help us all work out what really is best. It would be very interesting to see rpm used the way it is used to build Fedora, ie use the build and package system rather than just the package system. However that requires significant re whack of the ON consolidation build system I expect. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
