Except we are. We have a significant amount of data indicating that
our users care a great deal about the reduced downtime, simplified
update mechanism, and guaranteed consistency that pkg(5) provides.
yes, all that is nice. However, all that is really just the "easy stuff".
They're basically happy that solaris has basically caught up to what yum
and apt-get have been doing for a decade. Except it's doing it at 25%
speed.
Oh well, guess I'll continue on writing ipsutil. We'll see what happens
first: when 'pkg' starts matching the speed of the rest of the world, or
when ipsutil fully replaces all pkg functionality that solaris users
care about.
I added contents listing and pkg name search today. hard and softlinks
were done yesterday.
dependency handling shouldnt be too far off.
Perhaps I'll have something interesting to announce at OpenWorld
