Folks, I've been following the discussions about migrating SVR4 installation scripts, and while I understand how the SMF strategy is intended to work for post-install work, how are we to deal with preinstall and most especially, preremove?
I'll be visiting my packages to understand what is being done in the preinstall scripts we have, but right now I can offer that in preremove we do unregistration tasks and stopping kinds of tasks that need to be performed before bits can safely be removed from a running system. What's the intended strategy for taking action *before* the bits are (installed or) removed? Will there be an SMF-pre-action? Or a "veto" capability such that pkg uninstall will fail with an enlightening message if an unconfiguration tool hasn't already been run? thx, --emk _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
