I believe we want to include SUNWstosreg so that the base OS servicetag is created when the system first boots. Note that this doesn't mean any information is transmitted anywhere; just that the tag is created. SUNWstosreg has as a dependency the other two packages in question. > In general, -1 to "OS Registration", although that's all above my > pay grade, surely. Certainly Sun is interested in potential uses of servicetags but in discussions with their engineering organization, it's not clear to me if opensolaris.org can't also potentially use the information too. Of course, only with the explicit user's opting in. :-) > Do the postgres packages offer opportunity for consolidation? > (I'm not sure, but there sure are a lot of them). Do the > dependencies work at all? I'm sure some consolidation could be done although I'd like to pursue that as a follow-on wad as I'm only reflecting the upstream version number change here. We need a lot of work done in this package refactoring/consolidation area. dsc _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
