Hi, I personally agree with Darren´s objections. This split-up was too excessive. Maybe some users want one file per package, and ten millions of them :) But most don´t. Plus keep in mind the IPS overhead at install-time. Even given the automatic deps resolution of everything without requiring user-interaction. -- %martin bochnig _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
