[oi-dev] pkg5 improvements

[Andrzej Szeszo]

Hi All

I have re-started getting current pkg5 codebase in shape few days ago.

I wanted to get zone support working better on top of 
illumos/OpenIndiana. It is still work in progress but linked images and 
system repository stuff seems to work OK.

I need to prevent scripts from creating zone boot environments still as 
illumos doesn't support that (rpool/zones/zone1/ROOT/zbe-1, zbe-2, 
etc.). Alternative would be to add such support. I have not looked at it 
yet.

The code lives here: https://github.com/aszeszo/pkg5

You can check it out using git or mercurial (with hg-git extension enabled):

git clone git://github.com/aszeszo/pkg5.git
hg clone git://github.com/aszeszo/pkg5.git

And then build it and generate packages by running:

cd src && make install && cd pkg && make install

Oh, one file needs to be edited manually to get linked images working 
(it is part of illumos-gate):
