Summary:                    Allow package to provide their own manifest file
Description: 

Some package already provide their own manifest file to be used under
Solaris 10.
It would be nice to have a way for a package using cswinitsmf to disable
automatic manifest generation so its own manifest file is used.

It could be configured by using the existing tweaks system.
For exemple, if you provide your own manifest file, you could add:

#SMF_SCRIPT no     # change this value to no if this init script should
not be used to autogenerate the smf manifest file.

Ok, but how would it know which file to import as manifest?

SMF_SCRIPT /path/to/manifest

?

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The manifest file would belong to the cswinitsmf class, so it will be
passed to your script which could register it if smf is available and
enabled. 
You would have to add a test to determine if the file is a manifest or an
init.d script (or something else).

But using "SMF_SCRIPT /path/to/manifest" will also work.

Hi Peter,

Any news of this feature, do you plan adding it ?
I am waiting for it to be able to switch some of my packages to
cswclassutils.

Thanks in avance,

Yann
