Some recent discussions seem to indicate that IPS has already been selected as the packaging system of choice going forward.
For example, the Distribution Constructor has IPS explicitly labelled on the architecture diagram. I asked about whether that implied that the DC was tied to IPS and it seems as though it may well be. (http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=40417) Also, in discussing the transfer module functional specification (see http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=157809#157809) it's pretty well implied that IPS is going to be used. There have been other rumours and indications. It's all very uncertain, and there needs to be some clarity here. So, has it indeed been decided that IPS is going to be used as the packaging system? -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
