Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg folder size escalated
well there is this one https://github.com/omniosorg/illumos-omnios/commits/master/usr/src/pkg i would have to know a few more details about what i should be looking for. also did you mean the makefiles in pkg or the global ones?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg folder size escalated
to be clear, the things i pointed out here are just minor inconveniences. overall i think indiana is great. the very up-to-date repo including big irons like firefox and libreoffice in particular. but the "core" os also ran very well for me so far. in some ways even better than the original solaris. if i can help out in some way as mentioned i wouldn't mind doing so. for details about that and myself i would however prefer a bit more private setting.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg folder size escalated
The Software and packaging framework to make packages is roughly the same though features have diverged even inbetween illumos distros (although a merge is planned there) The package graph however ist completely distro dependant. And also different illumos gat forks like illumos-omnios have differing package manifests that change the package graph extremely. The specific difference you are describing is purely due to our package manifests not having received a major update to split up SUNWCS. Solaris finished that migration post source closure/fork. illumos-omnios also has updated manifests so omnios will have a smaller chache of files. Please also note that linked zones share this cache and it is used to restore your system with pkg fix although anything missing will be downloaded. In case of openindiana since we are rolling release there is however a chance that you'll have to upgrade first before having all files available to download and fix the system when a diskoutage too your root pool down. We would be quite happy if somebody started carrying the torch in bringing those package manifest changes upstream into illumos from illumos-omnios. -Till On 18.05.23 11:39, Goetz T.
