Hi all, So fay by my understanding, Indiana can only support adding package from IPS. not any local package mechanism be supported. Thus i have three concerns related to driver issue:
(1) Since there will be thousands of applications/drivers packages on the IPS, how can the user know which package is a hardware driver especially which chipset it intent to drive? will Indiana release some documents to dress a driver package with its specfic hardware chipset. (2) How to handle 3rd party driver, if Indiana does not support SUNW package format, do we expect 3rd party vendor will transfer their SUNW driver package to new IPS format and building their own IPS server? (3)If Iniana user boot system and find no network driver, the first solution he/she will do is install network driver so can try other feature. But if Indiana can not support installing local package file, how to handle this scenario? Plese correct me if my understanding is wrong _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
