Don't use pkg-get. Use pkgutil. Yes, yet another tool for you to use. We customized it to provide enforced MD5 hash checks and it will soon do SHA256 by default. We provide the static bins for this of course. Install it with : # pkgadd -G -d http://download.blastwave.org/csw/pkgutil_`/sbin/uname -p`.pkg Then run : # /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil --catalog It will fetch the software catalog for you and enforce MD5 hash ckecks. Then install the following ( to enforce GPG sig checks also ) : # /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil --install common gnupg wget You will get a bunch of software flying at you and being all installed into /opt/csw as well as some conf stuff into /etc/opt/csw and data into /var/opt/csw. Nothing will be touched in the OS areas of /usr or such protected regions. That is for the nice software vendor and no one should ever mess with that. Once you have GPG then fetch the key : # /opt/csw/bin/gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys A1999E90 This is a new key. The original was stolen by Philip Brown years ago when the opencsw people split in the middle of the night claiming that we were going to drop Solaris 8. We never did of course but that was the "story du jour". Once you get this new key you need to edit /etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf and uncomment the GPG check option at the bottom of that file. Then install something like GCC 4.3.4 with : # /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil --install gcc4 You can expect GCC 4.4.4 any time real soon now. See the GCC 4.4.4 buildstats at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/buildstat.html where I posted two good results : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2010-05/msg00428.html 64-bit ready triple bootstrapped version : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2010-05/msg00749.html Sorry, you will get that publicly any day real soon now. > is a download tool used by Blastwave.

On the night of the big acquisition switch over the Oracle folks walked over and turned off the IPS repo. Since we are still releasing software ( 64-bit ready also ) all the way back to Solaris 8 we just gave up on IPS altogether. It was never made to be used by people outside of Oracle and let's face it, no one at Oracle wants there to be repo's of open source and free software or Solaris anywhere but at Oracle. My opinion based on a conversation with Dan Roberts. -- Dennis Clarke OpenSolaris Governance Board Member 2010 dcla...@opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dcla...@blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
