As far as I am concerned, HP packaging system is brain dead. The manpage lies, and most of the features mentioned in the page are not implemented. Furthermore, swpackage bails out on the first missing file thus making prototype debugging a PITA. Also, we could not find an easy way to build relocatable packages (which is trivial in SVR4). > I don't know the status of our future packaging system but HP's system > is > very nice, especially compared to SVR4 horrible one. [ML] SVR4 was *much* better than HP in the package make department. /Marino > -- > Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- > roberto@keltia.freenix.fr > FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #70: Sat Feb 27 09:43:08 CET > 1999 > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
