I still like that idea, but that's a bit rooted in the don't-deliver- stuff-outside-your-base-directory mentality of SVR4 packaging. > /var/svc/manifest is the present location for delivering > manifests--anywhere else, and the SCF repository wouldn't be rebuilt > correctly in the case of repository corruption/failure/loss. If you're rebuilding the SCF repository, it would be possible to scavenge the pkg database looking for manifests that were previously imported, wouldn't it? But maybe having an intact pkg database isn't something that can be relied upon. > (So, please put them there.) OK. That sounds like a sensible strategy for S10 as well, but I'll have to experiment a bit to be sure.
