Hi jpd, Just to add one thing on to what Shanti said....
On the packaging of multiple versions, that's been discussed over in the sfwnv-discuss community. This project isn't part of Nevada (a.k.a. Solaris Express) necessarily, but we'd like to be a source for stuff that goes into Nevada. Why do I bring this up? They were trying to figure out what the right way to handle multiple versions of things in Solaris Nevada is (i.e. Apache). If you have a moment, you may want to provide your feedback over there (i.e. a stable release and a bleeding edge release). ----- Original Message ----- From: Shanti Subramanyam - PAE <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, May 31, 2007 9:59 am Subject: Re: [webstack-discuss] hello To: jpd <jpd at drawneek.demon.co.uk> Cc: webstack-discuss at opensolaris.org (snip...) > > > I also think that it should be packaged in pkg or something, just > makes > > things easier if Solaris ever gets some sort of network package > > repository (see every linux etc...) > > > > We're still pondering over the packaging issue.

The other thing I'd mention though is there are people working on packaging/patching for Solaris overall. They will likely be looking into the 'multiple version' issue and installation processes, so we should give them our feedback on requirements and see what they end up with. This project will hopefully come up with some good contributions to the overall stack (there is at least one item a group in Sun is working on) which will likely end up in all of the different packaging of web stacks. We do need to figure out what's right for the Cool Stack community though. (snip...) - Matt
