A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4117 ====================================================================== Reported By: skayser Assigned To: bonivart ====================================================================== Project: pkgutil Issue ID: 4117 Category: regular use Reproducibility: N/A Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: closed Resolution: fixed Fixed in Version: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2010-01-07 12:12 CET Last Modified: 2012-02-18 11:19 CET ====================================================================== Summary: RFE: Support installation of packages to alternate root (pkgaddopts not sufficient) Description: I have a system which is running the OpenCSW stack already. On this system I just tried to install packages to another root environment mounted to /a. To do so I added "pkgaddopts=-R /a" to an alternative pkgutil.conf file (pkgutil.conf.dr) and specificied this configuration with --config.
The problem with this approach is that pkgutil doesn't query the /a root for installed packages. Instead it checks the local / file system which already has the requested packages installed. # grep pkgaddopts /etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf.dr pkgaddopts=-R /a # pkginfo -R /a | grep CSW # # pkgutil --config /etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf.dr -i sudosh2 sudo Parsing catalog, may take a while... Updated packages: CSWcswclassutils-1.30,REV=2009.11.21 CSWsudosh2-1.0.2,REV=2009.12.02 Current packages: CSWcommon-1.4.7,REV=2009.09.20 CSWsudo-1.6.8p12,REV=2005.12.19 CSWsudo-common-1.6.8p12,REV=2005.12.19 Total size: 51.6 KB 2 packages to fetch. Do you want to continue? [Y,n] Could we get an pkgutil-integrated approach for package installation to an alternate root path? Or as a temporary workaround a pkginfoopts option (don't know whether that would be sufficient though)? I would favor the integrated approach though. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0009612) dam (administrator) - 2012-02-18 11:19 https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4117#c9612 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It may get more attention in the future as now with ZFS root handling multiple BEs has become really easy and with PCA it is a standard. Additionally, I would like to answer this positively :-) http://www.opencsw.org/community/questions/3/solaris-live-upgrade-and-opencsw-packages Best regards -- Dago _______________________________________________ bug-notifications mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-notifications
