Description
|
The NAME field in the SVR4 package's pkginfo file is incomplete.
According to "man -s 4 pkginfo":
NAME
Text that specifies the package name (maximum length of
256 ASCII characters). Use the NAME parameter as the
foundation for describing the functionality and purpose
of the package; spell out any acronyms and avoid inter-
nal product/project code names. The DESC parameter can
then be used to expand the descriptive information. Use
the NAME parameter to state as specifically as possible
the use of the package, why a user would need to load
it, and so on.
Currently OpenSolaris uses the information in the pkginfo NAME
field to provide summary package information. If it just contains
a name, it's not helpful.
