It would be helpful to get feedback from more people.
Here's what I think we're discussing:
1)
Should we use a different base name for Express packages
to distinguish them more easily from Enterprise(FCS) packages?
A.
pkg install cc # results in fcs compiler
pkg install ccx # results in express compiler
B.
pkg install cc

2)
Is there a better overall package name than solstudioex
that I should recommend to my management in place
of "solstudioex"? I don't think Darren has made
any concrete suggestions yet.
Recently, there was a bug filed where a user was surprised that a
package named 'gcc' didn't exist [1], and instead we have gcc-3, gcc-43,
etc.
While it's easy to find such a package using "pkg list '*gcc*'" or "pkg
search gcc", it seems like option B fits best (for this case) as that
accomplishes two things:
1) easy for the user to find the package with 'cc'
2) user automatically presented versions available and has to
consciously select one
I'd also vote in favour of David Comay's suggestion to use
developer/solaris-studio/ and developer/solaris-studio-express/ for the
first part of the name.
Cheers,
