What are you trying to accomplish? Can you give a more thorough use case here? A catalog is a list of things that are available from a particular source. In IPS, the catalog is a list of packages available from a publisher. It doesn't make a lot of sense to issue a catalog but then make the items unavailable. "Here's a list of things you cannot have," seems confusing from a software installation stand point. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
