I don't see where the problem is with zones so I must be missing something. Here's my thinking: We don't support different versions of the same Solaris WOS package in different zones. Zones can't have a different set of packages installed from the global zone either. The files aren't editable anyway so the admin can't arrange for the contents of the Solaris manifests to be different between zones. Given that the files in /var/svc/manifest are always the same for all zones, right ? So what am I missing ? > I've been cooking up a plan in conjunction with the profiles project to > move the default manifest and profiles location to /etc. It needs a little > refinement first as some details are tricky, but I'll post it here, probably > mid-July, for comment. Whats the rationale for the move from /var/svc to somewhere under /etc ? What problem is that solving ? I know it doesn't change my situation since /var and /etc are both root filesystem package locations. -- Darren J Moffat
