Hi Danek , Yes I understand that this forum is for IPS .I need to make sure that IPS will support all that SVR4 packaging supports ,hence I have come to this forum .
Is it appropriate for the users to see symbolic links overwritten with new package installation .In this case (5.1 packages overwriting MySQL 5.0 packages) without any user warning . Can I write checkinstall/postinstall scripts to handle this and let user decide .Will they be supported in IPS . or can I write my own class action scripts such as i.presevesoftlink to take care of them .Will IPS support newly created action scripts other than the ones given by solaris. Some pointers on how to do this will be great .
