Good point. I thought you had said that the presense of a compiler was enough to trigger the behavior you want. I could see how "pkg install" would provide for installing different facets of a package. And, I could also see a image-by-image setting that sets the default set of facets to install. You could have the "development bits" facet on by default and I could have it off by default. Then the only issue is determining the default defaults. In this case, it seems you have no issue have the default be "development bits off". If so, I don't really think there is any disagreement. - Brian _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
