Is there an easy way to convert say the latest SXCE to an IPS, and
wouldn't this help with the transition for people who might want to
run their own repositories and start building their own packages?
okay .. so right, right, i understand that there's no current defined
on disk format yet for standalone packages and you need a local repo
(ie: svccfg pkg/server setprop pkg/inst_root ; svcadm enable pkg/
server) .. i've just been trying to wrap my brain around the
solaris.py script which seems to be less than well defined in it's
current state within the pkg-gate source tree .. trying to understand
the logic around all the nv build listings .. the README in src/util/
distro-import seems a bit out of date, and sure one could simply say:
# cd /cdrom/Solaris_11/Product
# for pkg in `ls -d *` ; do
> eval `pkgsend open [email protected]`
> pkgsend import $pkg
> pkgsend close
> done
#
but this is all a little hacky, and i don't think this will have the
desired effect of clusters, dependencies, pre/postinstalls (which
can't really be done) and such
