Hi,
I'm currently looking forward for some help in porting my SVR4
application package to opensolaris, hence this mail!
I have read through few blogs and was able to run my own depot server and
publish a sample package into that server and install it on the host too.
However, I have a few open questions for which I'm looking for answers.
Please take a look and see if you can help me out here..
- Even if I had not started the depot server on my host, is
http://pkg.opensolaris.org my default depot repository ?
- What happens to the post/pre install and post/pre remove scripts which
were used in SVR4 package? I have a huge chunk of code with those scripts at
present..
- For client side applications, how do we release these packages? I
understand that the current SVR4 sun application packages are just
distributed via the SDLC site. But, with the IPS package, its not simply
distributing a package. To develop a package, one needs depot server..Does
it mean that I will have to distribute all the files in a directory
structure and provide the customer with scripts to generate the package
(say, the pkg.depot include file option??). My application is currently
available for download as a SVR4 package via the SDLC site. Now, after I
port the package to IPS form, how do I distribute it?
I believe, the package building process and deployment process is set to
change big time with this porting. Hence, your inputs/help here is greatly
appreciated.
thanks,
Ram
