Hi,
What changes, if any, have been made in our patching/packaging
infrastructure to deal with branded zones? It is of course
understandable that patchadd/pkgadd will skip "lx" types of brands that
emulate entirely different operating environments.
However, it is also reasonable that we can have "userland" brands that
do not emulate different OSes - the brands are basically tailor-made for
certain usages; but they are identical to the native brand in all
aspects of patching/packaging. How does patching/packaging deal with
such brands?
Currently the tools will skip any non-native brand. A project that
wants to add a new brand that fits the criteria you are describing
would have to update the patch/pkg tools as part of the project.
