Hi everyone.
Here is a webrev that removes the service introduced by Driver Update to
copy /var/pkg when a live image boots. This effort replaces that service
with an on-demand script which the DDU will call when it invokes pkg(5).
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~schwartz/100525.1/webrev/
Changes consist of the following:
1) Removal of the live-var-pkg-move service.
2) Addition of the live_img_pkg5_prep script, to be called by the DDU.
3) Removal of /var/pkg and padding from the boot_archive in manifests.
Changes to the DDU are not reflected here, but were discussed along with
these changes on caiman-discuss last week. DDU will simply check for
existance of the live_img_pkg5_prep script (which will exist only on
live images) and will call it if available. Webrev to follow from DDU
team shortly.
The live_img_pkg5_prep script has been extensively unit tested.
X86 AI image has successfully invoked DDU to install an IPS package
Will test other images tomorrow to be sure, but mechanism is same for all.
Please review by Thursday lunchtime to allow enough time to get into B141.
Should live_img_pkg5_prep really be a /bin/ksh93 executable and not
/bin/sh? The builtin's seem ksh93-specific. Also, "/etc/mount" (line
75) isn't right, /sbin/mount, please. It's a nit, but I'd think you
could do everything on 57-58 with a single nawk invocation.
The new utility should not go under /usr/sbin. It has no use to a
general administrative user and we have no intention of providing a man
page for it, so it shouldn't be in a directory that would ever appear in
a user's PATH. Probably the best thing would be to put it under
/usr/lib/install (new directory, I realize).
