And its often a pain for the person who has to handle the actual package registration. Lucky you, you guys dont have to deal with that pain. I do. being release manager is not a whole lot of fun. It depends on the exact order that the "new" packages get registered. If it happens that a new package with the same PKG name as the existing one gets registered *first*, and thus "frees up" the filename space, then its easy and "automatic", of sorts. But most often it happens the other way, and I need to figure out which one I need to register "first". > Is the issue the fact that the > catalog name is the primary key and that's changing? Off the top of my head, the PKG name is primary key. Which would be appropriate, since that's what Solaris "keys" it off, as well. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
