Alan,

I don't think you really care about .deb packages either, what I *think* you're saying is "give me a packaging system that works like apt does!", if I understand you correctly. I'm in agreement with you, if that is what you meant, and packaging is being looked at inside (Open)Solaris Engineering.

That is what I meant.

It's possibly because I don't quite know how to use the "pkg*" commands as well as "dpkg" that I don't like the actual packaging format.

I will be right in line behind you for a packaging system that works with proper dependency resolution, as apt does with Debian. I want to be able to install over the net also as apt has done for the past number of years.

Between the Caiman project and the Packaging, we'll be much closer if not there in the future.

Check out the Installation and Packaging Community, if you haven't yet.

Thanks for the pointer.
