sure, but only to some extend. it's both ips. unless of course illumos did a
massive rewrite there and

the package format and
... you get the idea :-)
illumos (openindiana) is not solaris. The systems are different and we are not
intending
to be free clone of Solaris.
i know what illumos is and where it came from and i didn't imply it had to be
the same either. my
question was about the size of the pkg folder and that i think it's too big.
which then turned out to be
right considering the solution with flush-content-cache-on-success and its
result. the latter should be
True by default if i may suggest that.
as for the size, i think even the original solaris pkg folder is too big for
that number of packages.
looking at rhel for example i see 65mb for 485 packages. of course that depends
on what packages they
are but it does give a rough estimate.
You are comparing apples to oranges. Nevertheless is openindiana a
community project.
So you are free to help us improving it.
Stating shortfalls is a beginning but you have better chances to enhance
oi if you provide changes in form of PR's.
At the moment we have only roughly a handfull of people caring for
oi-userland.
As I have stated before you don't need to be a developer in order to
help maintaining openindiana.
