[I probably should have sent this to the external lists before now,
but we've been kicking this around a bit internally already, and
this is updated to reflect those discussions. Further suggestions
for refinement are still welcome though.]
As I've been digging through trying to solve the SVR4 vs. FOX
package issues for Indiana before May, one of the big problems
I've had is that the old X package boundaries make this much
harder, since they don't match the redistributability boundaries,
license boundaries, or the current upstream packages.
At X11R7.0, X.Org broke the entire X Window System source tree
into approx. 200 individual modules, each of which can be
separately released, downloaded, built and installed - those are
now the boundaries upon which we're doing our work, replacing
bits of the old X11R6 source tree with those modules one at a time,
but that gets spread across several old packages (libraries, headers,
and man pages in separate SVR4 packages for each X.Org library module
for instance, but those are mixed in the same SVR4 packages as
libraries & such we haven't cleared for redistribution yet).
After talking about this recently with Stephen & Bart, I think the
best way out is to refactor our package breakdown for IPS to match
the X.Org module lines - that will also allow users to more easily
map our packages to the upstream package names & versions, and allow
us to upgrade packages along the logical lines we're getting from
upstream.
I've taken the upstream package list and tried to map them to the
naming scheme Stephen described - I had to guess at some of the
categories the new IPS package breakdown might have. I'm looking
for feedback on these package names before I start trying to map
our old SVR4 packages to these for future Indiana builds - especially
please let me know how well these fit in with the names you're planning
to use for ON and other consolidations.
[This is the complete list of upstream packages - we won't ship these
all in time for Indiana May release, may never ship some of the ones
that aren't useful on Solaris, and a couple, like compiz, will
probably come from other groups if they do.]
