prodreg is a layer above packages. Quite often a "Product", say a compiler suite or an application server suite, is a collection of packages. The data installed by prodreg is kind of like a meta package set. prodreg has been around for a while, its use is not mandatory. The idea is to give the administrator a higher level or abstraction than raw packages. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
