So if a package does not define any of the zones variables including SUNW_PKG_THISZONE Adding said package with pkgadd -G will lead to identical behaviour as though the package had SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=true defined, but it does not cause this variable to get defined in the pkginfo, rather a file /var/sadm/install/gz-only-packages gets populated with this package Now remember that one could have SUNWfoo and SUNWfoor, so a simple grep fro SUNWfoo in said file is not sufficent, it might match SUNWfoor which is not what is wanted. Also pkgparam is what is used to display pkginfo variables # pkgparam SUNWcsu SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES true # Enda > Jeff Victor wrote: >> How can someone learn whether a package was installed in the global zone >> *with* -G - or without it? >> >> _______________________________________________ >> zones-discuss mailing list >> zones-discuss@opensolaris.org >> > > -- > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > zones-discuss mailing list > zones-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
