Two things:
- Lets remove i/s as it is good to always release a bundle. The i386 only
was used in the past if someone made a manual mistake during packaging and
wanted to respin i386 only. This is IMHO generally bad. If an error occurs
all packages should be rebuild. Introducing extra complexity to allow for
manual patching is not a good idea. We should focus on full automation and
the flag is useless for this.
- If the "p" flag is present there should be checkpkg-check that
/opt/csw/share/doc/<catalogname>/README.CSW is present.
