PKGUTIL

=======



Pkgutil, written in Perl and licensed under GPL, is a tool to make

installation of packages in Solaris easier. It handles package

dependencies so all required packages are installed before the desired

package automatically.



Configure

---------



There's a configuration file in /opt/csw/etc/pkgutil.conf. The only thing

you normally need to change there is the mirror location. If you have a

pkgutil.conf file in /etc/opt/csw it will override the one in /opt/csw/etc

on a setting-by-setting basis. If no pkgutil.conf is found in either of

those two locations defaults are used.
