<div><br></div><div>Firstly, is there any functional difference with using pkg-util and pkg-add? I have OpenSolaris installed locally in a VM - I was simply going to run pkg-util to install everything, get the list of packages from there (suggestions?), then download all of those into a directory to give to the sysadmins.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And secondly - will there be issues if they relocate the packages from /opt/csw to /usr/local (internal rule, unfortunately). Anything we need to do?</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, are there any issues with the order of installation? Normally, pkg-util would take care of dependency tracking and ordering here, but we're going with pkgadd. Should I give the sysadmins a particular order to install in, and if so, how would I go about getting that order via pkg-util on my local Solaris VM?</div>
</blockquote><br></div><div>just a suggestion ... you may ask your sysadmins if they'd be kind enough to create a symlink for you. having done that, /opt/csw could easily be located at /usr/local/csw, and things may work as designed while still keeping your sysadmins happy.</div><br></body></html>
