Hi
I have a couple of pkg related questions. Can you kindly help me out
here. I am using build 131 and need couple of pointers on how to
effectively search using IPS pkg commands.
- How do I limit pkg search -r (remote search) to limit searching
within a given / specific build . By default, pkg search -r searches
and displays the result from all the builds (111 - 131) .
When I want results from a specific build, I do pkg search
'*0.130:::foo' if I'm searching for foo.
- pkg search -r -o search.match *font* provides segmentation fault. Am
I doing some thing wrong or is this a known issue ? For that matter,
attribute based searching seems to always result in segmentation
fault. So, I am hoping this is a known issue.
- How do I search for a IPS package that delivers a given a file ?
If you were searching for /usr/bin/foo you could do 'pkg search
/usr/bin/foo'. Alternatively, 'pkg search foo' if the path you were
searching contained symlinks.
- How do I restrict the pkg search output to restrict the results only
to list out the pkg names and its repository location ?
pkg search '<foo>'
Will it be possible to improve on the current FAQ (especially in terms
of how to search as to which package delivers a given file ,
dependents of a given package etc) . This should be useful for lot of
newbies.
The man pkg has all the information I've provided above (expect the
details about searching a particular build). It also has the following
examples:
Example 5: Search the package database for the token "bge".
Example 6: Search for installed packages which depend on SUNWipkg.
Example 7: Search for all incorporate dependencies in installed packages.
