I have some questions relating to IPS....

I'd like to have a package, for example pkg:/ABC (a new or an existing package) which needs to depend on a NSS package (pkg:/system/library/mozilla-nss) with
"require" type dependency.

I'll have a new SMF service in pkg:/ABC which will access a database library in the NSS package to extract certificates and store them in the system. I need to re-generate these certificates when the database is updated via a reinstall or
upgrade of the NSS package.

Can a connection be made between these two packages in IPS such that this
new SMF service in one package can be restarted when the external package
gets updated?  Any suggestions?

Or must this new service be in the NSS package itself? This relates to my other question - How is the NSS package being delivered as system/library/mozilla-nss? We don't own its source and it is not in ON. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help,
Hai-May
