Re: [csw-maintainers] cswcommon update request

2009-10-30 Thread Philip Brown 
cswcommon should almost NEVER be updated. Its a very user-freaky thing
to change.
 I dont like making changes like this, for something that is
apparently in flux. Last change to cswcommon was barely a month ago,
and it was for hooks again. This is too soon to make another change.

Please just put in the definitions, into whatever uses it for now.
(ie: define the directories with appropriate permissions)

there is no harm in having multiple packages define the directories.

After 6 months to a year has gone by, and there are no further changes
in hooks over that timeperiod, then please re-request a change at
that time.

 Hi Phil,

 Can you add the following directories to cswcommon to support 4 new
 hooks?

 * preargproc: /etc/opt/csw/pkg-hooks/preargproc.d/
 * postargproc: /etc/opt/csw/pkg-hooks/postargproc.d/
 * prefetch: /etc/opt/csw/pkg-hooks/prefetch.d/
 * postfetch: /etc/opt/csw/pkg-hooks/postfetch.d/

 Could you ping the list when this hits current as William will have
 some tools waiting on this availability.


PS: there is no reason to wait, as i've just pointed out above.

Maybe this is the better approach anyway?  Any package containing
hooks should include the required hook directories as part of it's
prototype?  I had thought cswcommon was a good spot for these since
presumably there will be multiple implementations.

Agreed.

 After 6 months to a year has gone by, and there are no further changes

Ok.

Roger that.
