Hi Ralf,
Nice job on OpenPKG 2.x. I finally upgraded from 1.3+ and it generally went
quite smoothly.
Just a few problems with oracle-barebone this time around.
1) I believe oracle-barebone.pl should list "network/admin/samples" in
addition to "network/admin" since the spec file refers to files in
"network/admin/samples" and this will provide the user with samples to work
from.
2) Since the last time I used it, oracle-barebone.pl has had "rdbms/install"
and "network/lib32" added to the directory list (among other dirs), but my
Oracle installation - using client runtime + oracle call interfaces and
oracle programmer - does not create those (I use the 32-bit distribution).
However, I was able to run oracle-barebone successfully without them in the
past, and I still can, so I'm not sure why they're there.
3) The spec file names the solaris bz2 files "sun4u-sunos5.X" whereas the
doc file still provides instructions on naming them "sparc64-solarisX".
4) It would be great if there were a way to provide a set of dependencies
that caused the openpkg oracle package to require oracle-barebone. Perhaps
adding a "with_oracle-barebone" option to the oracle package, and a
"Provides: oracle-barebone" to oracle-barebone? As it is, one has to
manually build and install oracle-barebone first before using openpkg-tools
for the rest of the packages.
Thanks,
Dennis
