[Pkgutil-users] pkgutil noncsw=true

[Robert G. <rob...@gm...>]

Hey there,

To use pkgutil to install non CSW - prefixed packages, one needs to
enable this feature by means of adding

noncsw=true to pkgutil.conf.

This switches off the grep:

if ($noncsw) {
  @cswpkgs = `pkginfo`
} else {
  @cswpkgs = `pkginfo | grep CSW`
}

And leads finally to a much longer runtime while doing a pkgutil -c
because of all the SUNW- stuff.

Wouldn't it be nicer if one could add a pattern to pkgutil.conf:

noncsw=/CSW|FOO|BAR/

What do you think?

I'm hacking on a new puppet provider for pkgutil and rely on the
pkgutil -c command to get a list of managed resources -> so waiting n
minutes on the output of pkgutil -c feels kind of clumsy ;)

Thanks for your input and cheers

Robert
