I'm taking a look at the latest package manager categories in build
111a and sigh they are still not as I expected. I've pulled together
the list of changes needed in this email to send to pkg-discuss (and
Rich and David) to get this fixed. I really need some help from the
compiler team and the folks I indicated below to look at these as well
and 1) let me know if the items listed make sense and what if any other
components/libraries need to be listed as well.
* All Development includes sunstudioexpress. This needs to be
changed to sunstudio since sunstudio will point to the latest
version of Sun Studio in OpenSolaris.
There currently isn't though a Sun Studio in the repository - I thought
that was going to be Ceres when it integrates but as that's not there,
that's why sunstudioexpress is represented.
* The C category includse SUNWcpp but not Sun Studio. This needs to
be changed to include sunstudio and ss-dev .
There is currently a limitation where a package can only be classified
in one area. At the moment, sunstudioexpress is under "Integrated
Developer Environments".
As for sunstudio, again it won't be classfied until it's actually in
the repository. But we still have the current limitation of one
classification per package.
* The C++ category includes SUNWlibC but not Sun Studio. This needs
to be changed to include sunstudio and ss-dev .
Same here issue as with C.
* GNU category - George - look at the list - is it complete?
* High Performance Computing includes hpc-dev but should also include
sunstudio .
See above.
* George - will you verify the list the GNU comps in this list - is
this right?
* Gregory - will you take a look at this also - the list has fftw2,3
don't know where these come from. I'm thinking we should request
to get the description of Sun Studio to include something about
fortran and performance libs.
Those packages come through the SFW consolidation and were delivered by
the HPC group under Fritz Ferstl.
* Len - do you think that ct 7.1 and 8.1 should be listed and/or
should we just include or also include clustertools which points to
the latest version?
Integrated Development Environment - change sunstudioexpress to
sunstudio .
Again, when it's actually part of the repository...
System add :
* NB DTrace GUI Plugin
It's currently there under the Development menu, and the System
classification.
* SunStudio - Dlight
Is Dlight part of some other package?
Are there other libraries that we should be including in these
developer categories to help insure that users can build apps
successfully - particularly gui apps?
Let me know by tomorrow 1:00pm since I need to send out the email
really soon to hopefully push these changes.
Note that the classification database that is included with the Live CD
is frozen and unless we need to respin for some other reason, will not
change anymore for 2009.06. It's unfortunate that the GUI works off a
static file but this is something scheduled to be fixed for the next
release.
