That's fine, we just offer the choice. If you install many other operating systems you don't get any notification whatsoever, so you could just turn it off and pretend to be on Ubuntu etc :) > Is it possible to install+bootstrap these pkgsrc packages into a > directory other than /opt/pkg?

No, this isn't possible, the binaries are built for a specific prefix, in our case /opt/local. What you can do however is build packages yourself into a custom prefix, there are some docs here: http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/bulk.html I plan to write a smaller one at some point which covers just bootstrap + builds to make things simpler. It's unlikely however that this would be any simpler than just re-provisioning, and again you would miss out on any of the non-pkgsrc upgrades introduced in newer images. It's more for the cases where you want to build packages with non-standard options, etc. -- Jonathan Perkin - Joyent, Inc. - www.joyent.com ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
