Speaking of pkgtool, and interesting ways to use build recipes in general... I ran into a problem where I needed pcre installed. It was recently integrated via the JDS consolidation, but too recently to be in the build I'm running (b55); and because it was integrated, SFEpcre had been removed from the SFE repository. :-/ For a moment I thought I faced a small unexpected hassle. But in reality, because I keep a local copy of the JDS spec file repo on my laptop, building/installing was one command away: pkgtool build-install SUNWpcre. Eric P.S. Note: Don't do this as root. Instead set up an /etc/user_attr entry that allows your user ID to install packages: yourid::::profiles=Software Installation
