Over in the Update Center 2 project we want to support informing the user what's new in a package update (relative to the previous version) and highlight updates that contain security fixes. To do this we need to get the information from the package metadata.
I don't see much in tags-and-attributes.txt on this. Reading through the /PSARC/2008/190 materials I find these examples: com.sun.service.info_url = "http://service.opensolaris.com/xml/pkg/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-1:20080514I120000Z" com.sun.service.keywords = "sort null -n -m -t sort 0x86 separator" com.sun.service.incorporated_changes = "6556919" "6627937" [list-valued] This seems to cover what I need if "security" can be used as a keyword to highlight security updates. Questions: 1) Are these finalized? 2) Is there a reason these are scoped to "com.sun.service"? Why not: info.info_url, info.keywords, info.incorporated_changes (I think there was a proposal to use "info" for general optional metadata) 3) Is the intent that "incorporated_changes" would be a list value? That doesn't seem to work today. A space delimited string would be an alternative.
