1) These are random generic packages that I obtained not from Blastwave Nor OpenCSW.  I just want to stick these random 3rd party packages into a repo and download and install them with pkgutil.  Is that possible?

2) I forgot that the package name is important.  Can I just rename these files, or do I need to change something internal to the packages themselves?

3) As an experiment, i just went ahead and added these packages locally on a test machine using pkgadd.  That worked.  

$ pkginfo AmandaEnterpriseBackupClient
system      AmandaEnterpriseBackupClient Amanda Enterprise Backup Client from Zmanda

 $ pkginfo AmandaEnterpriseClientExt
system      AmandaEnterpriseClientExt Amanda Enterprise Client Extensions from Zmanda

But I am guessing when you say "pkginfo files" you are asking for something else?

Do I need to follow this even if I am not submitting to OpenCSW?  (which I am not)

I noticed this too, after sending my email to this list.  As a quick workaround, I manually edited the catalog file to change one name.

After I did so, I was able to see both packages via the -a flag, but I was still unable to install one of them.

Is there something "broken" inside these packages, and that whatever that is needs to be changed in order for the install to work?

I am trying to install packages from Zmanda, not opensource packages.

This is not a blastwave vs opencsw question, I don't think.  

I do use blastwave as my main package source, but in this case I am using -t to point to my newly created repo that contains only these two packages.
