Hi, I'm looking at a problem that occurs when installing a non-global zone due to some code that is executed in the postinstall script of the SUNWcsr package (the error occurs because this code is not zone aware and should not be executed within a non-global zone). As I understand it (and this is still a little new to me so please correct me if I'm wrong) the script is being run from a copy that was saved at package install time in
/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWcsr/save/pspool/SUNWcsr/install One proposed solution to this problem is to modify SUNWcsr's postinstall script so that checks are made to ensure this code is only run under the correct circumstances. This solution works fine, but the question is, how can the updated postinstall script be delivered as a patch such that it is available upon zone creation in the above directory? As I understand things, the data stored in the pspool directory is saved from the metadata associated with a package when that package is installed, as as such those files themselves do not belong to a package (e.g., the do not appear in .../install/contents) and are not patch-able deliverables in their own right. Is there an existing recommended method for updating these files in patches? One possibility might be to include a script with the patch that would manually edit the pspool copy of the postinstall file to include the updated code. Would that be a viable solution? Are there any glaring disadvantages associated with that method? Many thanks for your help, - Paul _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
