Summary:                    Please add smf service state persistence across
upgrade
Description: 

Currently, if someone installs a daemon (provided by a csw package) under
Solaris with SMF support and chooses to disable it, this state will not be
preserved across upgrades.
Next time, the package is upgraded, the service will be automatically
started and will be configured to do so at boot time, 

In other word: the "svcadm disable" command is useless with opencsw
packaged daemons.


It would be nice to add smf service state persistence across upgrade in
cswclassutils to allow the state of service to stay the same across
upgrades.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I upload a patch which implement this behaviour.

However, it will only do so when autoenable_daemons is enabled, because
the standard explicitely says to not start daemons when autoenable_daemons
is set to no.

I would prefer the smf saved state to override the autoenable_daemons but
I think that would require some discussion.
