You are looking to add properties and features similar to what
/etc/default/sendmail file does for the sendmail service when we would
define MODE="" to disable daemon mode?
Just trying to put it in perspective, because I got lost in those
projects you linked, but I think I get the idea.
It seems that you are not familiar with today's SMF profiles. Currently
(Solaris 10 & Nevada), you can write a file which comprises a list of
services and whether each should be enabled or disabled. (The format is
XML, following the service_bundle(4) DTD.) You can invoke
'svccfg apply' on that file, and it will enable or disable services
according to the file. See the .xml files in /var/svc/profile on
a Solaris 10 system for examples.
This project is to extend this concept to allow people to customize more
than just whether a service is enabled or disabled. What its
dependencies are, what executables to use for the service, what resource
management settings to use with the service, or any service-specific
properties which the service may use. Furthermore, it allows projects
to allow users to create these profiles easily for later use.
Does it mean that SMF Profiles will be like MS Windows registry? In this
case some SQLite files probably etc.? No text files for easy editing with
vi-like editors? Problem restoring after corruption of SQLite data files?

Milan Jurik
