Even more important, it allows for packages that are built within the framework of the SVR4 spec to be made portable to other distros. While the ISO/IEC 9945-2003 spec provides for a package standard as does the POSIX ( see the Open Group also ) we need an actual implementation that is functional. The pkgadd/pkgtrans/pkgrm tools ( et al ) provide this within Solaris for years and years and people expect them. They also trust them. Dennis Clarke
