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.

Thanks,
