Hi Steve,
Good news - I've got a workaround, and (even better) Jan
Setje-Eilers found some ITU tools lying around, we're going
to get them released to the community as soon as possible.
Here's the workaround:
(1): create your package with both 32- and 64-bit
drivers, postinstall scripts etc etc.
(2): Transfer the package to a pkg data stream format
using pkgtrans, name the datastream something like
HIGHPOINT.pkg
(3): run pkg_drv like this:
/opt/SUNWpkgd/bin/pkg_drv \
-D $VENDORNAME \
-N $PKGNAME \
-o $OUTPUTDIR \
-P HIGHPOINT.pkg \
-r 5.11 highpoint
The important point is using the -P option to override
what pkg_drv would otherwise generate for you.
Best regards,
James C. McPherson
