Why? That's exactly what the original discussion was all about. The reason they're considering moving files around at all is that the current package attributes make the package hollow (not delivered in non-global zones), the project wants to deliver in a patch, and that can't be changed in a patch. > So if for some reason the IPfilter packages weren't installed, after > this change there would be IPfilter files appearing because some core > pacakge was installed or patched. Eek. This type of thing scares some > people (even if it shouldn't it does). As long as the actual code dependencies work out right, I don't see what the concern here might be. If they don't, then it's a new, separate package. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
