yea verily. Personally I think that the SVR4 package format is well established, trusted and reliable. I am doing more than just thinking out loud on this also. I am really looking at a prototype here in the Blastwave basement. That is why I happened to have the package list in front of me and I have been creating categories for software. Those manpage type packages all fall under a category called "docs". So in one fell swoop a user can issue a simple command and have all docs arrive, get unpacked and installed. So simple it is just stupid to not do it. All commands and utilities fall under "tools and utilities" and to some extent this is just me following the single UNIX spec and ticking off things from a shopping list. anyways ... I am tinkering with it. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
