Except this code won't run until you've already upgraded SUNWipkg to a revision that has the incorporation issue fixed. > I think what we really > want to tell the user to do is "pfexec pkg install > [EMAIL PROTECTED]<their current build #>". > > At the moment, it probably doesn't matter since SUNWipkg is consistent > across all builds but that probably won't always be the case and I > suppose I'm worried about future incorporation issues in the future. What we want to do is to tell users to install the latest SUNWipkg that's appropriate for the constraints they have on their system. But the only way we can determine that correctly is to go through the same codepath that the incorporations go through, so if you don't trust it, you don't trust it. Every other way of determining the version to use is based on one or more conventions that may or may not change wildly in the future.
