Package boundaries should be determined by minimization considerations. Packages that are revised as a set (e.g. built and tested together) should express their consanguinity via an incorporation; this ensures that while still individually (ignoring other interdependencies) installable they would be updated/installed as part of a matched set. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
