My software will need to support Solaris 10 for a very long time into the
future,
so that means supporting SYSV and IPS for the forseeable future.
I'm thinking about creating a new config file for metadata that tells me how
to generate either SYSV packages with dependencies or IPS packages
with dependencies. Another reason for revamping this is so that I can more
easily combine and split packages of both kinds while I'm trying to work
out the right arrangement. At the moment python/XML seems to be the path of
least resistance. Is there anything I should look at before diving in?
I've got a bunch of code for munging and preprocessing prototype files,
so I don't need more examples of that. ;-)
I've got:
files/directories/links
relative pathname of each of the above
grouping of items into logical packages
dependencies between packages
all the extra per-product volume/product/config goop that gets shoveled
into SYSV packages that someone will just tell me.
What else?
