How can I tell what version of for example firefox, that is in an IPS package?
You can try something like:
$ pkg contents -m SUNWfirefox | grep legacy
legacy arch=i386 category=FIREFOX,application,JDSosol desc="Mozilla
Firefox Web browser - development files" hotline="Please contact your
local service provider" name="Mozilla Firefox Web browser - development
files" pkg=SUNWfirefox-devel variant.arch=i386 vendor="Sun Microsystems,
Inc." version=3.5.3,REV=110.0.4.2009.09.29.05.14
legacy arch=i386 category=FIREFOX,application,JDSosol desc="Mozilla
Firefox Web browser" hotline="Please contact your local service
provider" name="Mozilla Firefox Web browser" pkg=SUNWfirefox
variant.arch=i386 vendor="Sun Microsystems, Inc."
version=3.5.3,REV=110.0.4.2009.09.29.05.14
legacy arch=sparc category=FIREFOX,application,JDSosol desc="Mozilla
Firefox Web browser" hotline="Please contact your local service
provider" name="Mozilla Firefox Web browser" pkg=SUNWfirefox
variant.arch=sparc vendor="Sun Microsystems, Inc."
version=3.5.3,REV=110.0.4.2009.09.29.08.29
legacy arch=sparc category=FIREFOX,application,JDSosol desc="Mozilla
Firefox Web browser - development files" hotline="Please contact your
local service provider" name="Mozilla Firefox Web browser - development
files" pkg=SUNWfirefox-devel variant.arch=sparc vendor="Sun
Microsystems, Inc." version=3.5.3,REV=110.0.4.2009.09.29.08.29
The above was taken from snv_125 which includes firefox 3.5.3.
This probably does not hold true for all applications (as it depends
what metadata was supplied when the package was built), but happens to
work for firefox and thunderbird. You may also have to search through
all the raw output to find the version number. For example with pidgin,
the documentation path includes the version number (but then "pidgin
--version" tells you :-) ).
