Greetings,
I have been looking at the IPS docs and perhaps I have missed the
appropriate discussions, but I have a number of items I would like to
get clarified. If all I need to have is a pointer to the correct
documentation, please direct me to the right stuff. I will start with
two issues.
1. Suppose I want to have packages that are x86 or SPARC only. How do
I put the information into the package to make sure that someone wanting
a SPARC install does not get an x86 one? So, for example, if I have a
package for software foo-1.0 in SPARC and one in x86, do they have to be
named differently or put on two separate servers? What are the rules?
I do not want users to have to download a package that contains both.
2. Now suppose I have a system where I want to install something on
/opt/sfw, but the /opt/sfw directory does not have enough space and I
make it a link to a place on a larger disk. In at least one attempt to
install a package designed to go into /opt/sfw, I found that the package
failed to install with a message that says /opt/sfw is a file or some
such. Is there some IPS package option to avoid this or some other
trick, or did I just do something wrong?
Once I understand these issues, I will move onto others.
Thanks for any guidance.
Steve C.
