Hi,
[Redirecting from on-ips-dev per Liane's suggestion]
Other than the brief description in pkg(5), does there exist
a specification of the pkg FMRI as used in IPS?
I am attempting to update the FMA protocol specification, which
is what (originally) defined FMRIs. It already has a
"pkg" scheme FMRI for svr4-style packaging, specified as:
Member Data type Description
--------------- --------------- ------------------------------
scheme string "pkg"
version uint8 0 for version 0
authority authority Authority information (see ...)
Actually that's "publisher" now; not authority.
...
- what authority information can ever appear; just publisher
string?
It's optional, and yes, it only ever contains the publisher's prefix
(identity) which should be a forward (as opposed to reverse) domain name.
Cheers,
