Folks,
I've been reviewing
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6186 and I'm not seeing
a plan for what to do about our packages with names like "entire" and
"redistributable". Is this renaming effort intended to address these
types of packages initially, or will they follow?
I'm developing a repo for SRSS currently. Should I be considering a
hierarchical namespace similar to what's being used in OpenSolaris?
Are there changes to the base system required to support a hierarchical
namespace today or do I need to wait for the Solaris renaming work to
get integrated? Is there a target build for integrating it?
Thanks,
Bob
