For now, write an uninstall script and document it for your beta customers. Do not create a strange dependency graph, as escaping such a graph will be difficult. How I would handle this scenario for a complex layered product: I'd identify my packages, and write a detailed uninstaller. Then I would identify the well-understood groups of packages, and slim the uninstaller. Then, assuming we can get the intent information into place sensibly, I'd finally identify a product-level group package, and make my uninstaller trivial. Then, I'd delete my uninstaller and update my documentation. - Stephen _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
