But much of this data is in the wrong place. Shouldn't redistributability be a tag in the package? How does the package owner determine the CD vs REPO vs DVD question? Those decisions belong to the groups building those products (distro dudes).... For well known places like ON, new packages that _have_ to be there in order to boot should be part of a well-known group package that the distro dudes use.... > >> PACKAGE HISTORY FILE: (See >> http://solaris.sfbay/benet/Packaging/pkg_history.txt) >> >> If pkghistory file(s) will be delivered, show contents of the file(s) here. > > IPS is killing pkghistory, right? > YES! > Does the RTP need to ask for what tags are used for files in the package? > As far as I'm concerned, no question should ever be asked that can more easily be answered by examining the object itself. Much of the tagging should be automatic, along w/ dependency generation. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
