The latter part of this is perhaps even more compelling than my complaint: I can't think of a Solaris utility that is designed like pkg currently is in this respect, including many that are also "SVO" (I'm not sure I'd even be complaining if 'pkg' weren't already a zillion times better than the old tools BTW) regards john _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
