Pkgutil
Encyclopedia
Pkgutil, written in Perl
and licensed under the 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. This is based on functionality present in apt-get (Debian Linux).
It's used by both OpenCSW
and Blastwave
, two packaging projects for open source software for Solaris.
