I share David's concerns, but want to add -- is there a reason that the
file is .txt, rather than (say) extensionless?
New webrev, moving "classifications.txt" to
"classifications" at:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richb/pkg-9002-v2/
Okay, I'm going to throw a monkey wrench in the works here and ask if
this is data that clients expect to be able to retrieve from a
standard location. If it is, is it:
* data that the repository should be serving because it is specific to
a repository?
* data that is specific to a publisher, but not a repository?
* data that all pkg clients on OpenSolaris should use, and so, is
platform specific?
* data that all pkg clients should use, and so should be distributed
with the software and updated through software updates?
As far as I'm concerned, it's data that should be the same, irrespective
of the repository or the publisher. It's the de-facto set of classifications
for all OpenSolaris packages. Over time, it will be added to, but it's
what we've got now.
We need to put this in a place where package publishing software
such as Source Juicer can get at it.
If it's not being served up by a depot, then where should it go?
