Alan, what will happen with old-style packages with dependencies on other SUNW* packages -- will there a way to artificially fulfill these? It seems like it will take some ongoing effort to continue supporting the SysV format.
IPS packages can provide what is called a "legacy" action that allows them to declare themselves as providing specific SVR4 dependencies. This allows most SVR4 packages to install without issue since they believe their dependencies are already installed.
See "man pkg.5" for more information. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
