Specifically, the presence of a service for the sole purpose of covering a package installation lifetime is counter-intuitive (to put it lightly :-). > Why not allow for the person doing the development work > to deliver a plugin to pkg(5) that understands said files instead > of using an SMF service? This would basically amount to the SVR4 package "build script" feature, i.e. introduce arbitrary scripting. So I guess that's out. Maybe one SMF service to cover all installed objects, and go through properties instead? Not a big change in functionality, but a big one in visibility. To add something, add a property and refresh the service. To remove something, change or remove the property and likewise refresh. Just a thought...
