I've had to abuse the current actuator mechanism in IPS to prevent pkg
install or uninstall from removing or updating files while the file
system is active.
I would like to start discussing a way to allow a service to communicate
to IPS that it is currently active, preventing pkg from making any changes.
One idea we've had is to create an attribute for the entire package (to
prevent endlessly specifying files/directories). This attribute would
specify an SMF property and an associated failure value. Before pkg
would update/remove any files, it would check to see if the property was
set to the failure value. If it was, pkg would fail the update/removal.
Thanks.
