I'm begging for a different opinion: we still support sharing /opt/csw through NFS for most of our packages but there are some which are not supported "from the shelf"; for those not supported without administrator intervention a caveat can be published in the README.CSW which also document how to do it if there is a way to. Consequently it's more about modifying the referenced documents than removing them and, for the announcement, there is no need to make a big fuss aside explaining this minor change in policies. There are also gray cats. -- Peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
