Look at the manifest.. You'll see that that some target= are trying to
create a symlink against a file which isn't there. (I confirmed against
the pkg.osol.o database that it's *supposed* to be in that manifest as
It's possible you'll find some packages with bugs, but those aren't
inconsistencies, those are just bugs. Package issues have nothing to do
with the packaging system so much as the tool or individual that created
them.
If you find packages that have issues, feel free to file bugs at
http://defect.opensolaris.org under "packaging".
well) I also noticed you're combining sparc/i386 stuff in the same
manifest and beyond two arches I don't really see this being so
scalable. (ok. that works for now since osol isn't so portable..)
SPARC/i386 is combined by design. I'm not certain why you believe this
isn't scalable. And yes, the number of arches wasn't a concern, because
realistically, OpenSolaris will only support two architectures for a
long time.
In terms of performance I doubt that it'll be "fast" with 2k packages..
We're already pretty close to 2000 packages (about 1800?).
or "fast" around update time every couple weeks or under various other
conditions. If you had read what I wrote clearly I never said anything
Again, "various other conditions", etc. is rather vague. If you have
some specific performance concerns, with reproducable steps, we'd like
to hear about them. So far though, it sounds more like your concerns
are more about design than implementation.
For the benefit of many users, I'm sure they'd appreciate that you file
bugs at http://defect.opensolaris.org so that we can resolve these issues.
