FWIW, I think this translates as "we need the pkginfo to be present so that package dependencies can be met in the nonglobal zones, but we don't want the actual software installed there." That would translate literally as "global zone variant tags on everything except for the legacy actions." A more generous (and appropriate, I think) approach would be the "global_zone_only_component" transform set in OS/Net, which allows header files, manpages, and mdb modules from such packages to be in nonglobal zones. This begs the question "should that transform set also set variant.opensolaris.zone=__NODEFAULT on legacy actions?" --Mark _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
