yeah. that's not going to work so much. the last one you delivered into the repo will win. (content and duplicate packages for both platforms will be in the repo, but the last one you deilvered will have a newer timestamp so that will get installed.) the solution here is fat packages, which is done via merging both platform packages into a single package. (so that each action that is platform specific get's a variant tag.) that's what bart/shawn are trying to wrap up. ed _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
