We could decide to commit the repository format, but I'd note that simply doing so will not magically solve the entirety of the set of problems we see in this space. I'd like to ensure that any proposal that is adopted which involves new mechanism considers all the use cases, and details how developers will know which mechanism to use. I'll send a mail (hopefully this afternoon) further detailing my current understanding of the use cases, so that folks can add any that I'm missing and we can evaluate the upgrade method in light of a structured set of requirements. liane -- Liane Praza, Solaris Kernel Development liane.praza at sun.com - http://blogs.sun.com/lianep
