This is best taken to pkg-discuss. IPS has no scripting int he context of pkg(5) itself. Software with needs like yours need to be self-assembling and/or, if possible, solutions like the one you suggested (blowing up editable files into directories or moving them wholesale to SMF) can be pursued to avoid some of the self-assembly. > Are there precedents in Solaris that do this kind of things? You'll find better answers to that question over on pkg-discuss.
