Hi Brock,

'pkg list' command will only give you the 'installed' package which is not relevant. I saw this number from the bottom section of Package Manager. I couldn't find any option to use in 'pkg list' to ONLY list the total number of known packages within the 'preferred' ips server. Can anyone shed some light here?
This will do what you want:
pkg list -a pkg://opensolaris.org-dev/*
IPS did not allow me to install any of the SPARC based pkgs. I actually expect these SPARC pkgs should not appear in x86 based systems. Is it the expected behavior?
It wasn't clear from your original email whether you were speaking of installed packages or those presented in package manager. This is the expected behavior, meaning it's where the current technology is at. I suspect we'd like to have pkg list -a and the list of packages in package manager only show packages relevant for the type of machine you're on by default.

The output of 'pkg publisher -a' is:

PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
opensolaris.org-dev (preferred) origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ opensolaris.org origin online http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
You need to add the extra repo (http://ipkg.sfbay/extra/) to get SUNWadmj. Also, since you're internal to sun, please use ipkg instead of p.o.o as it saves Sun bandwidth.

Brock
Thanks,
Ben
