I've gone ahead and filed:
7076918 itu commands should not be in system/core-os
since even if these commands can be made to work in Solaris 11
(fixing things like the refusal to run when patchadd is not found)
making them available for a handful of IHV's does not require putting
them in system/core-os for inclusion in the most minimized images.
Splitting them to another package would let you set dependencies for
the programs the scripts require, since pkgdepend doesn't try to parse
shell scripts to autodetect those, without forcing even more bits into
minimized systems. For instance, I see these requirements in the itu
commands that should be added as manual package dependencies:
# gzip:
depend fmri=pkg:/compress/gzip type=require
# mkisofs:
depend fmri=pkg:/media/cdrtools type=require
# pkgadd, pkgtrans:
depend fmri=pkg:/package/svr4 type=require
Whether the eventual fix is removal from S11 and instructions to IHV's to
run these tools on a S10 system/branded zone, or just refactoring can be
determined as the bug moves forward.
