在 用 pkgadd 裝軟體最大的問題就是相依性，常常要一個一個將相依的套件裝上。後來發現有個 pkg-get tool 可以將所有相依的軟體通通裝上，就像是 Debian 上 的apt-get，這樣裝軟體就省事許多；不過最近在 opensolais上 想要用 pkg-get 時才知道已經 pkgutil 取代，但兩者用起來差異不大，紀錄一下怎麼使用(solaris 10)。

首先，先裝好pkgutil tool(i386)

# wget
# pkgadd -d pkgutil_i386.pkg

pkgutil 裝好會出現大概提供了三樣工具：

/opt/csw/bin/bldcat
/opt/csw/bin/chkcat
/opt/csw/bin/pkgutil

因為透過pkgutil裝得軟體都會放在/opt/csw位置，好處是不會跟系統上的軟體搞混，但麻煩的就是要手動設一堆路徑。

update:後來發現把環境變數通通加到/etc/profile是很不好的作法，因為每個使用者shell不一定相同，變數設定方法也不同

修改/etc/bashrc，加入:

export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr
/local/SUNWspro/bin:/sbin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/opt/csw/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib:/usr/local/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ucb/lib:/lib
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/csw/man:/opt/csw/share/man

因為抓 pkg 要到國外的實在太慢了，就改 pkgutil 設定從國內站抓。

#cp -p /opt/csw/etc/pkgutil.conf.CSW /etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf

修改 /etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf，修改 mirror site:

mirror=http://ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/pub/Sun/opencsw/current

大致上就完成，下面是幾個常用的指令：

• 更新套件清單
  /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U
• 可用套件清單
  /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -a
• 安裝套件
  /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -i [name]
• 升級套件
  /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -u [name]
• 檢查套件是否有新版
  /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -c
