Hi Doug, Do you have any details of the current state of your efforts with the OpenPKG AIX port? i.e. How you are using it and what special steps need to be taken to get it to work (in your environment)? I recently tried to build the the bootstrap shell script from openpkg-2.5, openpkg-2.STABLE, and openpkg-CURRENT shell scripts only to find that on AIX 5.3[1] that while the openpkg.sh script builds a openpkg bootscript script running it only provides an rpm database with the gpg-pubkey rpm. The openpkg rpm itself does not get installed. Thus the instance is unusable. This behaviour is consistent on ALL openpkg.sh scripts. I looked at my original notes (on the OpenPKG Twiki http://wiki.openpkg.org/?BuildingOpenPKGunderAIX) when I was trying to build on AIX 5.1 on a smaller PowerPC model, but things have progressed quite a lot since then and last time I looked there was no other documentation of getting AIX to work with OpenPKG. I suspect some sort of error condition is not being trapped by the openpkg shell script and therefore the bootstrap shell script is not being built correctly. That or I am missing a component and the build failure is not being detected. Before I look more closely I wanted to ask you if you can provide any other feedback on AIX as you appear to be the only person actively using it on AIX, even if it is incomplete. Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
