Hi... I know that the easiest way to install packages is using Package Manager.
There are cases where I need to download Once a new Software, and install it on many computer via USB flash disk. So I use pkgrecv for CUPS : % > pkgrecv -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release pkg:/SUNWcups-manager at 0.5.11,5.11-0.111:20090508T153739Z pkg:/SUNWpycups at 1.9.42,5.11-0.111:20090508T163102Z pkg:/SUNWcups-libs at 1.3.9,5.11-0.111:20090508T153738Z pkg:/SUNWcups at 1.3.9,5.11-0.111:20090508T153722Z Now all the file(s) have been downloaded %> ls -l total 174 drwxr-xr-x 2 handojoh staff 1688 2009-07-16 15:52 SUNWcups drwxr-xr-x 2 handojoh staff 12 2009-07-16 15:39 SUNWcups-libs drwxr-xr-x 2 handojoh staff 64 2009-07-16 15:36 SUNWcups-manager drwxr-xr-x 2 handojoh staff 8 2009-07-16 15:38 SUNWpycups And the content of those directory is unbelievably unreadable :) It was somehow like this ( if you try to list the files on that directory ) fd66e336f3376a7fc0ef42ded11d0ee7ce2525f1 fd6f4a6e909b2aa9d878a824efcd186fffa3e39d fd726dbe209a7458f6b3f9053c589b8fced36733 fda7dda34dfdd6f8d9c4dad4d23334699f3248a4 fdd061ede6569d9164e9e06a5b5133828eb1e6a2 fddd82aedabf61d268a4c6b63499f2bc27d248ca fe23e436d4c2d276ac797e8fc6c7e05a90ceb180 fe8940e47b40e401d6ed429f34ffb1ac8fb1ed3f fe9620da98854c630a9f3255f3577549bc6c63e4 feceb54f249aa72159303e93d3f525c75fc973b4 fef0aa977a97d8c0d5441ace2e97f83db721f26c fefcad2f9dff1a964f9e016beb32a453fa2ab313 ff6bd7bfdbb80d31e922e66a9a430149017a7a99 ffb9731464594bea8b There is a way of setting up our own IPS. It's quite useful if the computer is networked. The computer(s) I'd like to install is detached one another ( no network, just for local uses ), and i need a quick way to just wrap those 4 packages into .pkg file, copy to my usb, attach to the destination computer, and install it using pkgadd Anybody know how to wrap each retrieved package into one pkg file ? Any help is appreciated, Thank you, Handojo -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
