It will be, eventually--don't toss your prototype. The point of providing the less blunt/more desired tools first is to force migration of the packages we have as part of the distribution. The larger set of packages that exist outside the distribution might very well need a service like yours, but I'd prefer to extract known common operations first, as we did with drivers and users. - Stephen -- [email protected] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
