   The comment is hard to understand.  I think you're trying to say that
   setproject(3PROJECT) is not allowed to fail because of failure to
   clear an rctl.

   I agree that that's the old behavior and that the manpage's
   description of error conditions makes doing anything other than
   looping in this case... seem wrong.  But looping forever seems wrong
   to me too, particularly given that setproject() is not atomic (i.e.,
   it can fail after having put the process in a new task and will leave
   the process in the new task).  Any chance that we can get rid of this
   potentially infinite loop?  At least file a CR, if there isn't one
   already.

I've filed 6851264.

More comments, these all w.r.t. the fix for 6378850:

 - IIRC it's incorrect to refer only to $BASEDIR in the pkg scripts --
   you need to also use $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT, like so:

+rm -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/$BASEDIR/var/tmp/dhcpsvc.tmp
+if [ ! -f $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/$BASEDIR/etc/inet/dhcpsvc.conf ] ; then
+        touch $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/$BASEDIR/var/tmp/dhcpsvc.tmp
+fi

Be that as it may, the rest of the package files are
only using $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT. On top of
that, use of $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT by itself seems
quite common. I'm not going to make this change.


 - Also, it's not clear to me how your fix for 6378850 works.  The state
   of the service isn't checked (as the evaluation says it should be).

The state of the service is only important in one scenario - pre-SMF DHCP server.

This is inferred by the presence of the configuration file.

In every other situation we want to do one thing: nothing.

   Instead you're enabling the service only if /etc/inet/dhcpsvc.conf
   didn't exist to begin with, but, why would one want to enable the
   service just because one installed the package?

Err, no, but I suspect that I updated the Evaluation ahead of the suggested fix.
And ahead of updating the webrev.
Please recheck the CR.

   Does the service disable itself if /etc/inet/dhcpsvc.conf doesn't
   exist?  A quick glance at the source (collect_options()) seems to
   indicate that it continues along.

It doesn't need to.

   As per the description in the CR:

"
The intent of this change was to make sure that pre-S10 systems with the
dhcp server enabled had their SMF dhcp-server service enabled when they
upgraded to 10.
"

   But how can the pkg install scripts do that?  One might have checked
   whether /etc/rc2.d/SXXdhcpd (or whatever) existed, but that will be
   gone by this point.

It would seem to me that the existing behaviour has not caused
anyone any problems, otherwise we'd have a bug filed saying that
either DHCP became disabled over upgrade or failed into a
maintenance state when it should not have.

 - The evaluation of 6378850 and the suggested fix don't match.

See above.

See my other email for a pointer to an updated webrev.
(it may arrive in 5 or 10 minutes, please be patient.)
