I apologize. I should have been more specific: Here's a sketch of an example implementation: Both prog13 and prog14 packages include a new kind of action. Let's call it the VEREXEC action. :-) The argument would be the pathname of the real binary. The symlink would be hardwired to always go in /usr/bin. (I think the only real problem being solved here relates to the /usr/bin directory, so it's okay to hardwire that directory.) Any package with a VEREXEC action ending in "foo" would conflict with a package that delivers any file/link/directory to /usr/bin/foo. I don't really know the best way to implement this in pkg, it could just be a semantically active keyword/flag attached to the action that creates the real binary. --chris _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
