Maybe a quick fix could be to enhance SMF with an additional state:
legacy_run, disabled, maintenance, online, package
And give "svcs" a "-t <type>" switch with a behavior similar to
"zfs list -t snapshot".
So "svcs -t package" would list those services, but "svcs -a" would not.
That would break the meaning of svcs -a The -a means "Show all
services".
Yes. That was intentional. Like "zfs list" which will show all
objects except snapshots. They are hidden until you specify the
type snapshot as an option to the list argument.
Are you aware that 'svcs' (with no options), just as 'zfs list' shows
only the 'default interesting' services? The ones that are enabled (not
necessarily running).
I don't agree
this is a problem. What are you trying to accomplish that you need to
use svcs -a and the output of the services used by pkg(5) gets in the way?
Reduce clutter. Protect the admin from seeing things that look like
services but really are metainformation storage containers for packaged
objects.
Using your analogy, what you're proposing is that 'zfs list -t all'
should display a subset of the datasets.
Why just 'svcs' (with no options) is not enough to reduce clutter?
