Ok sounds good.. thanks. At this point only a nit remains but: > Files Layout within pkg project private it's not the layout "within the package", it's the layout after installation under /usr/postgres/phppgadmin/*.

Well, "need" isn't a great answer. We also don't *need* to deliver this package at all, users can easily enough download the tarball from the web themselves. It seems SUNWphppgadmin doesn't add much value above and beyond doing: % wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/phppgadmin/phpPgAdmin-4.2.tar.gz % gtar xzf phpPgAdmin-4.2.tar.gz Ok that's two steps vs one step ("pkg install SUNWphppgadmin") ;-) Ease of use and out of box integration are top priorities for the Web Stack project and there is an opportunity here to do more and do better. ARC isn't the best forum for this design discussion. Unfortunately this project came to ARC before a thorough discussion on the project community, which would be the usual order. I suggest: - Set this case to "waiting need spec". - Thava, take the discussion to webstack-discuss at opensolaris.org where we can explore the user experience details with the community. - Then come back to close the case here in ARC. -- Jyri J.
