I believe I understand. Thanks for taking the time to be specific. I'll use both gmd5sum and pgp (or maybe pgp2, we'll see)

Pkgutil allows mixing catalog name and package name, however the descriptions file only contains the catalog name, that's why your grep didn't work. Use the -a (available) option to look this up: # pkgutil -a ftype2 freetype2 CSWftype2 2.3.12,REV=2010.02.26 682.8 KB It displays both catalog and package name. You can also search the descriptions file with: # pkgutil --describe freetype2 freetype2 - A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine > Also, it is not clear to me why md5 checking is senseless without gpg. > Why is that? Because if you don't know if the catalog is modified (checked by gpg) the package checksums (checked by md5) doesn't mean anything from a security perspective. I guess you could still use it to know that nothing happened with the package files during "transport" though. -- /peter _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/users
