Hi Lonnie If you want to get an idea what a package contains just run "pkg contents -r -m" This will show you the Manifest of the Package as textfile. Our packages are not at all similar to RPM or DEB. We do not use an Archive format at all. There are only Textfiles and gzip compressed binary data payloads. Every package server exposes the pkg5 REST API where you can grab any manifests (textual description of the package contents and files and other metadata.
On OI there is the pkgrecv command which allows you to download packages into a local directory structure like so "pkgrecv -s https://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster -d path/to/folder packge/full/name" That will get you a nested folderstructure which pkg can install from. Inside the structure are two folders. file which holds the gzip compressed package payload and pkg which holds the actual package manifest. Open the manifests with a text editor of your choice. If you can write code I have some go packages which can work with the folderstructures and REST API's of pkg over at [0] [0] https://git.wegmueller.it/Illumos/pkg6/src/branch/master Hope this helps Greetings Till On 3/28/19 6:01 PM, Lonnie Cumberland wrote: > Hi All, > > Just wanted to thank everyone who tired to assist me with getting slim to > compile.
