If you want to attempt to port apt to work on top of SVR4 pkgs, please feel free to go right ahead :-) [I think someone actually attempted to do this, so you might be able to pick up on their work. But it's probably fairly out of date] Meanwhile, if you wish to request additional features to pkg-get and/or pkgutil, please also feel free to suggest specifics. You may not have noticed, but in one of my recent emails, I referenced support for a "purge" function. This has been in my plans for pkg-get for a long time. It would be easy for pkgutil to implement it as well. As mentioned in my email, the concept would be that maintainers would provde a "purge" script, as i purge I think that pkg-get could check for it, pre-pkgrm, and run it. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
