Right. Well, bolthole is the site of the guy that originally wrote pkg-get as sort of an apt-get clone for svr4 packages. Blastwave offers tons of packages that can be retrieved with it, and for all I know without looking may well have participated in updating pkg-get. You're right in the sense that the version of pkg-get on blastwave is what people should be using these days. This message posted from opensolaris.org
