Also we often want our "mtst" users to install versions of the package

options/paths. IPS does not have to use http does it?
For example how can a package that is available at this location be
installed on a target system? Must the publisher settings be modified or
can the path be specified just for one install?
/net/hyper.sfbay/tank/ws/cy152378/clr/drop1/packages/sparc/nightly/repo.extra/pkg
The publisher settings must be modified.
OK, so what is the correct set of options to use to set the publisher
appropriately? All my attempts returned errors. I also was not sure how much
of the path should be used. For example is the above path ok or should it end
at "repo.extra", or "sparc", or something?
Unless you have fairly recent pkg5 bits, you'd need to run a depot
pointing toward that location (pkg.depotd -d
/net/hyper.sfbay/tank/ws/cy152378/clr/drop1/packages/sparc/nightly/repo.extra)
Recent pkg bits (I think build 140 and above?) support file:// URIs in
the client, and you should be able to specify
file:///net/hyper.sfbay/tank/ws/cy152378/clr/drop1/packages/sparc/nightly/repo.extra
as an package origin directly, though this may not be wise with NFS
paths, as the code somewhat assumes access to the filesystem to be
low-latency.
Thanks for the above information, I looked into setting the depot.d but thought
I'd try using file:// instead. It seems to work (with build_142 bits).
Now that I've managed to install an mtst pkg, I thought I would try to uninstall
it. But I've run into unexpected problems likely due to the way mtst is being
packaged. Not only does it not uninstall, the reason is NOT true for mtst
(though it does have a driver component). Also reboot-needed should be false.
Is there a manual override to force it to uninstall? Perhaps the filelist has
system directories listed separately and that is an issue wrt the "live image"
message below?
r...@bur99-41:~# pkg uninstall -rv mtst
Solver: [ State: Initialized]
Timings: []
Maintained incorporations: None
Package version changes:
pkg://on-extra/system/fault-management/[email protected],5.11-0.141:20100525T181202Z
-> None
Actuators:
reboot-needed: true
pkg: Requested "uninstall" operation would affect files that cannot be modified
in live image.
Please retry this operation on an alternate boot environment.
I also tried to just install a pkg version over top of the existing one but it
is too smart for that. Any way to force an install?
r...@bur99-41:~# pkg install pkg://on-extra/system/fault-management/[email protected]
,5.11-0.141
No updates necessary for this image.
Thanks again for your help, I'm getting a better understanding of IPS. Slowly.
Cheers,
Sean
