I'm trying to use a user image to install a copy of the sunstudio package in user-specified directory. It seems like the kind of thing user images would be appropriate for, but maybe I'm wrong and that's not the intended use? At any rate, since sunstudio depends on OS packages, they all get sucked into the user image including $IMAGE/kernel and $IMAGE/dev etc. Not what I intended. It seems a little tricky to figure out which dependencies can be satisfied by packages installed in the containing image, and which ones need to be installed locally. I looked for a bug/rfe related to this, but I didn't find one. Should a user image install always assume dependencies can be met by the enclosing image, and caveat emptor? If so, then it seems like a pretty well scoped RFE. Should I file one?
