[desktop-discuss] What authorities/profile needed to build and install from SFE?

[Mark Wright]

For the profile, please see:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/

When building SFE packages on Solaris 10u4 x86 sometimes
pkgtool may fail to apply the package due to some attribute change,
like in the example below.  Then I just pkgadd it manually.

Regards, Mark
