openssh unix dev - Jun 2002 - Solaris packaging

Hi Ben,
Just a few things on openssh 3.4p1 Solaris package.
1) Solaris naming convention would be OPENssh for package
2) Need to add the "sed" edit of X11Forwarding for ssh_config also
3) I prefer sym links as default (I suppose thats personal)
4) Need to provide "response" file so that dont need interaction
   to install!! - I do all install via jumpstart scripts etc.
   otherwise you get:
Adding package OPENssh....
Interactive request script supplied by package
pkgadd: ERROR: request script did not complete successfully

Installation of <OPENssh> was suspended (interaction required).
No changes were made to the system.

cheers
Jim

We are not Sun.  We don't call our selves 'OPENssh'.

Patch?

So do I.. but as a collective choice we decided to mirror Sun's choice
of hardlinks.

I don't use this feature.  Provide a patch.  Otherwise it will be added at
the 101th thing on my list of things to do.  Which at this rate will be
two years to get to.=)

Create a config.local in your build dir with
PKGNAME=OPENssh
X11_FORWARDING=yes

It is.

Are you saying that buildpkg.sh should create a response file?

_You_ need to provide a response file, based on your answers to the request 
script's questions. My answers to the request script wouldn't be very 
useful to you, unless we think alike. A response file can be generated from 
a request script using the packaging tools (do a "man pkgask").

Now, if the request script is doing something naughty, such that the 
response file doesn't work properly, submit a bug report.
