+1. (That can not be overemphasized if you ask me.)
I'll just point out, for those of you who haven't read my 28 pages of
installation strategy[1], that this is something we absolutely intend to do.
I'm not sure Nexenta's implementation is the way to go though. It seems
to me that Phil's pkg-get -- being designed around Sun's implementation
of the SVr4 packaging standard -- seems like the better candidate, or
maybe something new based on the patch software (that is currently used
for updating Solaris)...
We'd welcome discussion and work on any of these alternatives over in
the Install and Packaging community. Well, perhaps not the patch
alternative, at least not at this time - the patch technology is just
sooo fragile...
