Re: debian / solaris
Going in that direction, it will be hard not to get, as you asked
before, into the SUN/pkg vs. dpkg (or rpm or ...) discussion.
Just to give you an idea of what we wanted (I repeat, I failed this
task):
- seperate the blast from the system's goal
- permits independant installation and run of concurrent set of packages
- easy roll-up / roll-back of two concurrent running sets of packaging
More details:
- We looked at SUN pkg and prefered dpkg.
- Then blasting production a system was made by usual scripts and SUN
pkg, including a home made SUN pkg of dpkg.
- And the rest (our home made products + GNU tools dependencies) were
managed by dpkg
Cheers,
Loïc.
