The reason to choose an extended name is to avoid conflict in an unmanaged namespace. If we're just talking about appearance, I'm not that interested in a change: image packaging is developed at opensolaris.org. Is there a technical issue on one or more platforms? - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
