Component Classification

Deprecation warning

The actual list of categories can be found at https://github.com/OpenIndiana/pkg5/blob/oi/doc/dev-guide/appendix-a.txt#L26 . Avoid touching this wiki page.

Any component in oi-userland should declare a classification formatted as $Category/$Subcategory.

The classification is part of the IPS specification and may only be set to predefined values.

Example: System/Libraries

The current specification is the OpenSolaris IPS Classification 2008.

A non-exhaustive list of corresponding oi-userland categories is provided.
