That's a fascinating question. Both Bart and I took a look at the initial proposal, and said something to the effect of, "this implies that there's a need for a user-image service framework." http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/2009-February/011105.html http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/2009-February/011107.html Those who put forth the proposal read this and replied, "no we're not going to build a service framework for user images." The response, as you read, was that arbitrary scripting is unacceptable, there has to be some kind of structure. I can't speculate as to why they can't be bothered to build a SMF equivalent mechanism for user images, but they've repeatedly rejected the suggestion. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
