My idea was to use "mgar merge" to get the pkgroot directory. Then we
could use any means necessary to build an IPS package front that
pkgroot, taking as much information as possible from the GAR build
recipe. Then we would ask Dago for help in integrating it into GAR.
Gordon, do you think it's possible to start that way? Is anything
blocking you?
Sounds reasonable. Just getting myself reactivated and up to speed
now. IRC (I'll be gmarler, duh), and reading up on all that's changed
while I've been "dormant".
I guess the only thing slowing me down would be this:
- I suppose we'll be starting this IPS repo from scratch, so I'd better
start building packages from the foundation up, and we'll fix items as
they show up as obstacles along the way. Is there a nice way to either
see or generate a dependency list of the package chain from the bottom
up? That'll provide a nice map to follow.
Separately, and I'll probably see this shortly, but is there a Solaris
11 x86 or SPARC system in the buildfarm? If not, I have an x86 variant
available. Having a SPARC M-x000 or T4 or higher will be required if we
want to have dual binary builds for each package, which IPS supports
now. If not, it's easily added later.
