I have a friend who is thinking about using OpenSolaris to deploy this huge project of his that runs on Berkeley DB (see link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB ). Obviously we want to take advantage of things like Zones and ZFS as well as the performance, stability and remote management features of Sun hardware, so using some kind of Solaris here is a no brainer (even though this friend is actually a *BSD native and doesn't have a Solaris background).
There's one problem though. Why isn't the SUNWbdb package in the OpenSolaris 2008.11 IPS repository? This is what I'm getting at the command line when I try to look for it: r...@zone1:~# pkg authority AUTHORITY URL opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ blastwave.org http://blastwave.network.com:10000/ r...@zone1:~# pkg info -r SUNWbdb pkg: no packages matching the following patterns you specified were found in the catalog. Try relaxing the patterns, refreshing, and/or examining the catalogs: SUNWbdb r...@zone1:~# pkg search -r bdb INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE basename dir opt/csw/share/doc/subversion/tools/bdb pkg:/[email protected] basename dir opt/csw/bdb4/docs/ref/bdb pkg:/[email protected] r...@zone1:~# -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
