Open Issues and Questions

• Package Dependencies (built package) - Jim: Tom asked a question about dependencies of the built package
  • Don’t want users to depend on OpenG 6.0
  • Jim thinks we should check to ensure that any package dependencies of the JKI SM utilities are internalized during the build process
• Package Build - Tom mentioned that the package build wasn’t working (VIPM complains about declared dependencies not installed)
• Consider LVLIB Upgrade
  • Should we move to an LVLIB instead of LLB?

To Do
