7137406 pkg image-update could display release notes (or pointer to) This changeset doesn't include man page changes. Updated proposal from bug report: For Solaris, create a single package containing the release note fragments. All possible release notes that could affect this release are delivered as separate files, in a consistent directory. The files will be named so as to distinguish them; the name is not otherwise used. A new actuator named 'release-note' is added to each file; it is set to an FMRI, which has an optional version. If that fmri is present at the specified level or earlier in the original image, the release note is included in the release-note summary. If no version is specified, the release is note is included if any version was present in the original image. If multiple release-note attributes are set, the release note is used if any of the conditions are true. If the special package name feature/package/self is used, this refers to the containing package; if version 0 of this name is specified, the release note is used if the package was NOT installed in the original image. This can be used to display notes only on initial installation. The compiled release notes would be stored by IPS, and displayed to the user if -v is given, or if -n is specified. Without -v, if any release notes apply to the upgrade the user has performed, he would be reminded to read them and told how to do so. If any file with a release note that applies has must-display=true as well, the release notes will be always be displayed whether or not -v is used. Release notes for previous packaging operations can be read (& file name retrieved) using pkg history -N. Release notes prepared for new boot environments are stored in the new BE; they are also written to a temporary file and a path given so they may be reviewed easily prior to reboot. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance bart.smaald...@oracle.com http://blogs.oracle.com/barts "You will contribute more with Mercurial than with Thunderbird."
