[csw-maintainers] mirroring a subset of pkgs

[Daniel Pocock]

pkgutil has the ability to run in download-only mode and collect
packages for installation later/on other machines

However, it then becomes necessary to manually pkgadd each pkg.gz on the
target machine - potentially a painful process

I've written a script (see below) that should provide an all-in-one
solution to this problem, I'd appreciate any feedback on this approach

In particular,

- can anyone comment on how I should handle packages that are not
architecture specific?

- should bldcat work on a Linux host?  It chokes on the first line,
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w and when that is fixed, it gives a bad file
descriptor error



#!/bin/bash

# Mirrors a subset of CSW packages for pkgutil to install
