Please ensure that for a directory that already exists, the settings will remain unchanged (and not revert to the OS default). I suppose that the same might apply for a file, but having two packages deliver one file is less common (and may not even be legal in IPS, I don't know). One of my pet peeves in Solaris packaging is that practically every package in the world has to agree on the ownership and modes of /usr, making it hard to make system-wide changes and easy to have mismatched packages yank the directory settings around. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
