Not to discourage someone using pkg-get, but firefox is available via
the web for the Solaris platform.

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.0.6.html#othersystems

And then it's aaallllll the way down at the bottom of the page in either
a tarball or pkgadd format.  The tarball is what I've always done.
Untar it, cd into the directory, and your binary is right there.

Ok, I'm trying to upgrade firefox from the ancient 1.0.6 ive been stuck
with to the new shiny 1.5.whatever that I just noticed is availible.

The problem is, it has a lot of deps that need updating.

Right now, I'm manually re-running pkg-get -i firefox, waiting for it to
DL 20 megs, then waiting to see which package dep needs updating, then
repeating the process down the chain for each package ....

running pkg-get -h doesnt seem to provide a better way.

Is there a quicker way I can give pkg-get an argument to "update
dependancies as needed but dont update everything on my system", as I do
-NOT- want to invoke a qt/kde update by accident...

does that question make sense?
