Peter, I have seen your solview (from version 0.3) and it is very nice tool, but as you told the focus is different. The JPack project will provide GUI for underlying packaging systems, so in the future if (maybe) packaging on Solaris will change, users will still be able to use easy JPack GUI for installing apps and solview is only for viewing Solaris ones. For me it is great that both of the apps are under CDDL, so in some particular cases (especially parsing files) I am able to use your code in JPack without any licensing issues :-) -- Michal _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
