If this problem were easy I figure you folks would have solved it by
now. I'm glad to hear it is being worked.
I'm sure there is a tradeoff between enhancing the SVR4 packaging tools,
replacing them with some other existing toolset, and starting from a
shiny new source tree with a complete new design.
Please be sure to factor in the learning curve for customers in making
that decision. If you hit the jackpot with something which has become
as bread & butter as NFS and NIS, I'm sure I'll make the effort to learn
it willingly. If you manage to make it really useful for the masses but
still allow enterprise class admins to handle complex scenarios, great.

Thank you! I don't care how it's implemented, I'd simply like to see

I agree.
I see it going nowhere and why I stopped replying to it.
Other than continuing to poo-poo the Solaris way of doing updates and/or
install, I really don't understand what Chung was trying to prove.
BFD, the install on Solaris needs fixing. Tell me something new that I
didn't know 10 years ago. It is being worked, so it's not like it's
being ignored.
In general I feel that Solaris/OpenSolaris might not be for everyone,
and we shouldn't need to tippy toe around this issue. We know it needs
fixing and there are people that are trying to fix it.
For anyone that likes Ubuntoo, Debian, Gentoo, have at it. You can even
get them for free also, so enjoy.
If Chung wants to help, he should get involved and try to fix it.
