I think we all understand that the package managament tools are not completely upto the task. >As far as I know the package management tools aren't out there yet, >but they will certainly be on my list of things to investigate and >hopefully improve or extend. Excellent: because I think that will be the best way forward: improving on our current packaging system (zones currently heavily rely on Solaris packaging). One project I would seriously like to get of the ground is speeding up package management. We believe there are many possibilities to do so, without changing the package database format even and without making shadow copies which can get out of sync. The goal would be to install a zone in not much more time than it would cost to copy the files (and run the *install scripts).
