This has nothing to do with package delivery methods (or dim-sum patching). > If the type IDs in genunix change, I assume its elfhash changes. > Likewise, if the dependent modules change, their elfhashes will > change as well. As long as you're aware that this will happen to *every* ON module on essentially every genunix and ip change, then fine. Obviously, your updates will be correspondingly larger, but I suppose the aggregate package sizes aren't significant enough for the pain. Another downside worth mentioning is that ON modules will retain their special status - no other kernel module is allowed to use CTF uniquification, with the performance overhead that implies. regards john _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
