The format would be as follows: uuid cannot be an image-wide attribute. It must be a per-authority attribute. (That is, it's different.) I also don't think "pick your own UUID" makes any sense. I'd rather see pkg set-authority --reset-uuid authority pkg set-authority --unset-uuid authority to have a UUID generated or removed. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
