Hi,
I've read the various man pages (including pkg(5) - which doesn't
mention facets at all?) and I can't seem to figure out what facets I
might be able to select or deselect to filter files in a package.
I remember back when IPS was first starting up, the idea of no splitting
certian types (say man pages) of a package into separate packages any
more and instead allowing the administrator to filter the parts of a
package as it's being installed. For example an admin might want to tell
pkg that he doesn't want any manpages.
Are facets intended to be used for this filtering functionality?
Are they implemented yet?
What standard (or common) parts of a package are tagged for this kind of
filtering?
Personally, I'd like to see files in a package able to be filtered by
locale. In general I've been deselecting all locales in my installs
except the ones I really need. This works great when the locales are all
in different packages, but I've found smaller packages (like bash) that
have all their locale files in the single package. I don't mind that,
but I'd really like to be able setup a filter to exclude the locales
that I'm not interested in.
Is there a way to do this?
-Kyle
