[OpenIndiana-discuss] SFE repo 'git' package triggers 'This version is excluded by installed incorporation"

[Jason J. W. Williams]

Hi Alex,

Thank you very much. That'll help a lot. We're deploying with Chef so a custom package is definitely possible. 

It would be really nice to see the nagios-nrpe and nagios-plugin packages that were in the OpenSolaris repo make it over to OpenIndiana.
