Umm, make drives feature-level build dependencies, pkgtool builds individual packages, both toolsets install their packages (and test package dependencies) against an alternate root? That is, SFW gives up the notion of separated proto area and package build phases, and pkgtool doesn't use its .spec dependency evaluation as part of the build. SFW and pkgtool policies on pulling versus keeping a static copy of upstream sources will have to be reconciled; there are a couple of choices here. I'm sure there are other issues, but I don't think it's unprecedented complexity by any means. - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
