But "a no scripting" zone has passed into folklore. IPS certainly doesn't *provide* a scripting environment. > You can script all you want with SMF. SMF isn't a scripting environment. The packaging system needs to bridge the gap between the script that does the work and the mechanism to execute it, rather than expecting everyone to reinvent the wheel. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
