In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] vnc server for Openindiana?, Lonnie...:
Yea, I actually saw that as I have basically been playing around with
OpenIndiana, SmartOS, and OmniOS lately but did not know how to easily grab
those packages.
I think that I came across an article on it and will look back into it some
more.
Start with pkg(1), and read the section for 'pkg publisher' and
'pkg set-publisher'. Then go here:
https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Package+Repositories
You already have the main 'hipster' publisher defined, so you would only
need to add hipster-encumbered from that main page.
For SFE, follow the link on that page, which will eventually lead
you to here:
http://sfe.opencsw.org/quickrepolinks
You want the option for 'localhostoih', for hipster.
Also, a couple tips for things that may not be clear after the first
read of pkg(1).
1) in almost any conceivable situation, you want the hipster repo
(openindiana.org) first in your repo list. Other publishers you
add, like hipster-encumbered or SFE, should be listed after hipster.
See the '--search-after <publisher>' argument to 'pkg set-publisher'.
2) This is much less certain than #1, but I've found it convenient to
set 'hipster-encumbered' and especially 'localhostoih' (the SFE repo)
to "non-sticky". If those publishers are non-sticky, then when you do a
pkg update
and the latest version of hipster has started providing a package
for 'foobar' that previously you had installed from SFE or
hipster-encumbered, the one from hipster can replace (upgrade) the
one from the lower-priority repo.
If you don't set the lower priority publishers as "non-sticky", then
you're a little more likely to get into situations where packages from
lower priority repos can cause problems on 'pkg update'.
