That would be nice. Another thing that would be a nice refinement is to make it easier for pkg list to list all installed package associated with a particular publisher. I know it can be done but it is a bit indirect since the output of "pkg publisher" can not be used as is as an arg to "pkg list". It would also be nice if the term pkg_fmri and pkg_fmri_pattern were clearly explained in the pkg man page. -- Will Fiveash Sun Microsystems Inc. http://opensolaris.org/os/project/kerberos/ Sent from mutt, a sweet ASCII MUA
