It could be discussed on IRC session. I know that "Spec Files Extra" has own prefix SFE. I think that isn't important in this phase. We can use safely FOSS or KDE4 or somthing else. Gnome has SUNW, but Gnome is integrated in Solaris at this time and every package from Gnome which has SUNW prefix is installed into /usr. If some tool will be integrated into Opensolaris then automatically will has prefix SUNW and could be erased from our svn (if will be possible of course). > I don't know that it really matters, as long as the packaging is unique. > I'm not sure it's worth even pursuing to get a prefix registered, because > that concept was based around the old Solaris before OpenSolaris existed. > > > - I fixed the missing mkdirs which would trip up kbe-install on a fresh > > system which had no ~/packages/SOURCES or SPECS yet. > > Nice. thx > - Work only in Stefan's source trees.
