I'm not INTIMATELY familiar with live upgrade, but I would hope that it would handle things sensibly, yet following the standards. Font class action scripts belong at the OS level. All that is neccessary, is to declare the font file in class "font" instead of class "none". Then when the package is installed on "older" OSes, the right thing happens, due to the class action hopefully in that OS. Whereas on "newer" OS revs, they should have more up to date class action scripts or equivalent with them. So again, "the right thing happens". All live update has to do, is trigger the "new" class action scripts on the "new" OS. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
