Doth quoth the DaveM

Solaris Companion IPS repository

Tuesday Sep 23, 2008

I previously blogged about getting NMH from the Solaris Companion web site. I went to the web site again and read further down the page and noticed there was a IPS repository. This is easier for OpenSolaris than downloading a package and then adding it. Here are the steps I followed to install gnuplot: 

pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/ sunfreeware.com
pfexec pkg refresh
pfexec pkg install IPSFWgplot

Works great.

Got NMH from Solaris Companion CD project

Friday Sep 19, 2008

Yesterday I mentioned that I needed to install MH or NMH on my home OpenSolaris virtual machine. I took at look at the Sunfreeware site and discovered NMH is part of the Sun Companion CD Project. I grabbed the Solaris package from there and installed it with pkgadd. Nice and quick, works great.
