One of the key things we're trying to do w/ IPS is use exactly the same mechanisms when updating an image and then rebooting as when updating a live system.
This is essential in order to resolve the zones patching issues, and allow the testing of software in virtualized environments. If I want to test a package, I should be able to install it into an image and boot that image in virtual box, or as part of a zone. I don't want to worry about rogue packaging scripts running; by not running any software supplied by the package except in the context of the image I'm installing it into, I can make such installations safe by design. - 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
