Hi all,

(This is for OpenSolaris 2008.11. Yes, really).

I'm looking for a quick review of the fix for bug #5356:

  http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5356
  High Performance Computing incorrect categorized in Package Manager

Webrev is at:

  http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richb/pkg-5356.patch

This fix adjusts the classification of three unbundled clusters from:

System/High Performance Computing

to

Development/High Performance Computing

Three packages (clustertools, clustertool_7.1 and hpc-dev) would then
need to be republished to our network IPS repository.


IMPORTANT NOTE.
---------------

The Package Manager relies on two data files:

/usr/share/package-manager/data/opensolaris.org
/usr/share/package-manager/data/opensolaris.org.sections

one of which has changed due to this patch. The Package Manager
package is also on the Live CD. This should require a respin of
the Live CD, *BUT* because we haven't changed the name of the
sub-category ("High Performance Computing"), only the category
it's in, then the current Package Manager should still continue
to work and do the right thing without having to be republished
or rebuilt.

(The current design of the Package Manager ignores the category
that the sub-category is in. Assuming those three packages are
republished with the changes mentioned above, then if one of
those three packages is selected, in the Package Manager, the
package details displayed in the bottom right side of the
Package Manager window will now be
"Development/High Performance Computing", because they will
be picked up via the new package manifest).

Thanks.
