Yes, likely. > From a dependency point of view, is there the ability to both specify a > specific version (e.g. JDK Update 3) as well as the latest (e.g. latest > JDK in the repository)? As long as the versioning is done in the version portion of the FMRI and not in the package name (like we currently have with SUNWj3rt, SUNWj5rt, SUNWj6rt), then yes, you can either specify a particular version or you can specify that any version will satisfy your dependency (by specifying no version in the dependency fmri). Once constraints are introduced, you'll be able to tie yourself to, say, jdk 1.5, but that's not something that works at the moment. > Also, do we have nomenclature guidelines for packages, empty package > used to tie together 1 application, empty package to define a software > bundle, etc.? Incorporation is the term we've been using, though it may be overloaded, depending on how nuanced you need the terminology to be. I've also been using "cluster" when talking about the parallels with svr4 packaging on Solaris, but I'd like to stop at some point.
