Hmm, that's interesting. I've not noticed this myself. To explain this whole problem, for the record ;) Currently the build zones are nevada based. When you create a zone it copies all of the packages (or at least most of them) into the zone that are on the global zone. This is bad because we want to start with a zone that has as few packages as possible, then, install the dependencies we need and then kick off the build. So, we don't find dependencies that we have that we don't know we have. Secondly, when any of the dependencies you define are SUNW* then it freaks out completely - the packages are already installed in svr4 format. The fix for all of this is to switch the build machines to opensolaris to we get a pure IPS environment. This allows us to (easily) start with a minimised build zone and to install the dependencies in a more consistent way. _Christian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
