[install-discuss] Solaris SVR4 Packaging Tools source updated for build 54

[Glenn Lagasse]

It's time once again for a new release of the Solaris packaging tools.
The source is in sync with build 54 and has just been posted.

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/install/downloads/current

The following bugfixes are included with this release.

6482865 Putback for 6401302 causes pkgparam to incorrectly escape the
double-quote characters
6264796 live upgrade does not process configured zones when creating and
processing boot environments
6487311 pkgcond has incorrect RPATH and RUNPATH and has no default access to
/usr/sfw/lib

*** Important Flag-Day Information ***

This release of the packaging tools source represents a build flag day.
There is now a build dependency upon the libspmizones library delivered
with build 53.  As such, the packaging tools source must be built on
Solaris Nevada community release build 53 or higher.

* Note - The community release for build 53 has not been released as of yet.
I don't have a timetable for it's release but hopefully it will be soon.

*** How to acquire previous releases of the sources ***

The packaging tools project page located at:

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/svr4_packaging

has been updated to include a link to previous releases of the source code
for people who want them.  The releases have always been there and
available if you played with the URL I provide for the current release.
This just makes it easier to find older drops of the code.

Cheers,
