Thanks for posting this. I will be messing around with smart in a
short time. Till such time I can't say whether anything is amiss.
Sriram had played around with this earlier, so he may have some
comments.

Regards,
Moinak.

Kunal and I remote paired on this one. For some reason, I chose to get
up at five am and work on Belenix.next.

For the heck of it, I rebuilt everything (illumos, smart, rpm 5.2.1)
from scratch and used it all.

We used the Google Talk IM client for exchanging notes.

Don't think so, that should be the "stable" option (although mostly untested)

There's also the smart 1.4 branch and the pkg support, if wanting "unstable":

https://code.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/trunk

https://code.launchpad.net/~afb/smart/pkg


I have no idea whether you actually _want_ the SVR4 .pkg support or not,
but it and the .7z was added for compatibility with BeleniX earlier on...
(Normally one would use .gz and .lzma rather than .zip and .7z, but anyway)
It mostly consists of a pkg backend, and pkg_dir/pkg_site/pkg_sys channels.

If I am reading http://www.belenix.org/ correctly, you are trying to use
Smart with RPM5 (5.2.1) which should be easier than adding a PKG backend ?
Then again with all the tarball package formats, what's another binary one.
There was also the Nexenta (GNU/Solaris) Core, that used deb/dpkg instead...
