Looks good.
doc/guide-metadata-conventions.rst talks about 'opensolaris.smf_fmri' on
line 210. That should really be 'opensolaris.smf.fmri' now, the name we
finally settled on.
Also the sentence 'May be used in dependency resolution of packages that
contain SMF service manifests or otherwise depend on services.' isn't
quite right, I'd be inclined to take that out.
The attribute is really just informational - pkgdepend goes straight to
the source, the SMF manifest file being delivered, when making its
decisions about what SMF services it delivers and what SMF dependencies,
and thus what package dependencies this package should be declaring.
I suppose a package author could manually add the opensolaris.smf.fmri
tag for SMF services that are auto-generated by this package on
installation. In that case, we'd need to log an RFE against pkgdepend,
as at the moment, pkgdepend wouldn't be able to resolve dependencies on
that SMF FMRI back to the file and package that delivers it (there'd be
no manifest file in /var/svc/manifest or /lib/svc/manifest since the
service was really delivered by a script)
- that's a hypothetical example (I hope!) I'm not aware of any packages
that do this at the moment.
cheers,
tim
