Independent of the ongoing discussion: the version on the mirror roots is still outdated. Would some be so kind to put pkgutil 1.7 there? The pkg-get version is also downrev btw. (4.1.3 vs. 4.2.1). > Furthermore, could pkgutil be made an ARCH=all package, so that there is > just _one_ direct link that one can point new users to and not a > platform specific one (i know about uname -p, still it just makes things > more straightforward)? > > I see, the package contains a wget which is platform specific.

To add some facts: # find /opt/SUNWexplo/ -name "*curl*" /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/curl.i386 /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/curl.sparc # pkgparam SUNWexplo ARCH VENDOR all Sun Microsystems Inc. So it is not something unthinkable that we are talking about here, but something that Sun does too.
