I think the real answer is that the systems (SVR4, RPM) that you're replacing don't *require* an installer layer. Many applications find that they must add an installer layer, either from laziness or from gaps in the "packaging" layer, but I personally consider that to be a failure rather than a model to emulate. If you're going to require an installer layer, then it is the installer layer that users should interact with, with the "packaging" layer being an implementation detail hidden underneath it. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
