Please consider this code review for bug 8600:
8600 incompatibility due to newline following publisher in installed file
webrev: http://cr.opensolaris.org/~tmueller/ips-8600/
There's been quite a bit of discussion about this in the bug report.
This two line change puts the behavior back to not having a newline at
the end of the installed file. It keeps the changes from the fix for
1164 that ignores the newline if it is there.
Images that have already been updated with builds 109-111 where this fix
existed will have installed files for some packages that have newlines
in them, but that is ok because those newlines will still be ignored.
Those images would still get messed up if they are operated on by older
code (2008/11), but that would have happened anyway without this fix.
For users going from 2008/11 directly to 2009/04 (assuming that this
change is approved), and using a mixed environment across the network as
suggested in the use case for the bug, compatibility will be preserved.
Thank you.
Tom
