In the desktop build environment install script I needed this
information in order to decide whether to install additional
packages using svr4 or IPS. The test I use are:
1) check if /usr/bin/pkg and /var/pkg/catalog exist
2) check if SUNWcs was installed using pkg
3) check if SUNWcsu was installed using pkgadd
shell scriptlet follows:
---8<---
# check if the system is pkg(5) based or SVr4 based
# To identify, we check which system was used to install SUNWcs/SUNWcsu
# Output: set the PKG_SYSTEM variable to either pkg or svr4
check_pkg_system () {
if [ -x /usr/bin/pkg -a -d /var/pkg/catalog ]; then
/usr/bin/pkg -R $rootdir list SUNWcs > /dev/null 2>&1 && {
PKG_SYSTEM=pkg
return
}
fi
/usr/bin/pkginfo -R $rootdir -q SUNWcsu && {
PKG_SYSTEM=svr4
return
}
msg_err "Could not identify the packaging system"
exit 1
}
--->8---
Note: this fragment was pasted from a CDDL-licensed script.
Note2: pkg list SUNWcs takes a couple of seconds...
