Understood. Is the plan to use the package history as the means of documenting dependencies such as this one? I'm concerned about spurious and anachronistic dependencies being maintained even as the code base obviates their need. > $ hg locate SUNWdoc # no changes in text/doctools since the rename > 00/common/SUNWdoc > 110/common/SUNWdoc > $ hg log 110/common/SUNWdoc > ... > changeset: 950:154153e88417 > user: [email protected] > date: Mon Mar 16 23:57:27 2009 -0700 > description: > 162 Need to ship motif libraries > 6212 SUNWless package is missing in zones which prevents man from > 6215 dladm(1M) doesn't mention create-vnic subcommand > ... > > So > > http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6212 > > is the cause for the dependency.

I'd be interested to understand why 6212 was solved with a dependency rather: if [[ -x /usr/bin/less ]]; then PAGER=/usr/bin/less -ins else PAGER=/usr/bin/more fi export PAGER or simply: export PAGER=/usr/bin/more Adam -- Adam Leventhal, Fishworks http://blogs.sun.com/ahl _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
