Hello,I am in charge of providing TIPC to the OpenSolaris package repository by the november timeframe. TIPC is an open source project I already ported to Solaris and OpenSolaris (http://opensolaris.org/os/project/tipc/). I already created a set of SVR4 packages that are shipped with the source workspace.
I'm now wanting to create a set of corresponding IPS packages.
What do you think it is better to do:1. publish the SVR4 packages to the repository directly by using the "pkgsend -s repository_url send
SVR4_package_fmri" command
or
2. create dedicated IPS packages
Also, I don't understand how to deal with package updates: TIPC is still
in development and probably fixes from Linux'TIPC will be backported to
the Solaris TIPC code, reusing the same release number.
Once created, is it possible to update a package content or not? - If yes, no problem- If no, how can I provide updates, it is by doing subreleases packages (ex: 1.7.5-1, then 1.7.5-2, etc.)? If so, what will happen when user gets the package? Will he get the latest subrelease?
Regards, -- Renaud
