Why am I seeing different information from Package Manager
than what I see when browsing pkg.opensolaris.org/dev? (Yes,
Package Manager is pointing at the dev repository.)
For instance, if I look at SUNWgmake in Package Manager, I see
version
3.81 (Build 5.11-0.133). Browsing the repo I see:
sunwgm...@3.81,5.11-0.132:20100130T075514Z
What's up with that?
The BUI provides more information than the packagemanager.
This isn't an issue of more vs. less, it's an issue of "different".
One has version 133, one has version 132. Why?
Sorry, I didn't see the 132, but you'd have to be more specific. I see
133 at pkg.opensolaris.org/dev when I browse the packages for build
133:
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/en/catalog.shtml?version=0.5.11%2C0.5.11-0.133&action=Browse
Are you browsing the packages for build 132?
No. See attached screenshot.
I go to the main screen, search for "make", and this is what I see.
Because search doesn't do substring matching by default. When you
search for make, it's finding version 132 of SUNWgmake because it
actually has a file called "make" in it:
basename link usr/gnu/bin/make sunwgm...@3.81,5.11-0.132:20100130T075514Z
Since SUNWgmake was renamed to developer/build/gnu-make in build 133,
you won't see sunwgm...@133 since it no longer contains any files.
Are you comparing search in the packagemanager to search in the BUI?
Yup. Shouldn't they do the same thing?
Who *wouldn't* expect the gmake/gnu-make package to match the search
"make"?
The results from a local client may intentionally differ from that of
the BUI.
For example, the local client may choose to not list SPARC packages when
you search, because it knows you're on an x86 system.
It might also choose (if you're on b132), to not list packages for b133
in certain cases since you can't install the b133 packages.
Local-search filtering is something that is still being explored, so for
now, you will continue to see some differences.
If you feel that a particular search behaviour isn't what you expect in
the client, then feel free to file an RFE or bug against the client in
question so that someone can evaluate it.
The BUI's behaviour in this case is correct, what each client does is up
to them.
It's hoped that the advanced search interface the BUI provides will
eventually be able to provide you with variant filtering, etc. just as
the client does (although it will probably be manual, not automatic).
