I was wondering about this the other day. Say I have libfoo 1.5 and libfoo 2, because libfoo 2 introduces a whole bunch of changes that would break 1.5 consumers, how would that be expressed in IPS? I don't want IPS to "upgrade" from 1.5 to 2, since that's wrong - I need both. Typically this thing is done by introducing a package named "libfoo2". What's the plan for IPS? regards john _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
