Package management

As far as I can see, 5.10 does not provide any new package management tools besides pkgadd/pkgrm.
This is an area where Solaris could really be improved.
blastwave.org/pkg-get is ok, but I what if I want to update bundled packages like SUNWapch*?
I may, for example, want to use the bundled packages for apache instead of csw, which installs everything under /opt, and is not compatible with the zones model which needs configuration state in /etc and data in /var
The only way to get hold of freshly updated SUNW packages (unless I am missing something) is to download .iso images via Software Express and extract them manually.
How about something similar to apt-get for native SUNW packages? Or at least the ability to wget the latest packages.
Please tell me I am an ignorant ape and there exists just such a solution.... ;-)

True ... the package management system "amazes" me.
I'm looking to install a few standard packages on a remote server but don't have a cd in drive ... where else online can i find those packages (like SUNWppror, SUNWpprou, and SUNWppro-plugin-sunos-base needed for smpatch)
Thank you.

Visual Studio 2013 Nuget Package Manager error

Hello everyone,
I tried to add and use OpenCV library in my Visual Studio javascript windows application project, but I still get the same error.

Hi Fačko,
Normally, we won't get any errors if we create a new project. Since you get this error when using OpenCV library and it is a third-party product, I think you need to ask in
OpenCV forum for better response.
Thank you for your understanding!

System settings Package management part crashes on open

Hello all,
Whenever I open the system settings and then go to "package management" EVERY TIME the screen shows up and inmediatly closes and I get a KDE crash handler window.
Please note I am using KDEmod repos.
If I hover over the Package Management icon I get that it contains 2 items, which are "Aqpm global configuration" and "Aqpm databases configuration"
No idea of what could be happening, I checked and the package kdemod-aqpm is installed
Any more info you need just ask I will be around.

Package Manager console failed to load

Last night I installed update 3 for Visual Studio 2012 professional (version 11.0.60610.01). This morning when I started the package manager console I received the following errors. I did a repair of VS but other than taking a long time
it did not fix anything. I also installed all the extension updates, no help either. The file mention below is where it should be and I can open it. Tried running in administrator mode, again no help. All three versions of power shell
seem to run just fine (64, 86, ISE). I am running Windows 8 on a 64 bit machine, all updates are installed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this one?

Ran Get-ExecutionPolicy from PowerShell (x86) it returns Restricted
Also looking around... I have on add-in installed or running
Also tried uninstalling nugget and reinstalling
I noticed on the NuGet website it calls for PowerShell 2.0. It seems I have PowerShell 3.0, could that be a problem? Can I install PowerShell 2.0/3.0 side by side, is there an update to NuGet?

How to deploy EAR on CE server using Java Support Package Manager

Hello,
I am using CE server where I want to deploy EAR file by using JSPM. I run this program in Drive:\usr\sap\CE1\J00\j2ee\JSPM\go.bat
I have also put the EAR file into the inbox folder Drive:\usr\sap\CE1\SYS\EPS\in but still It does not show me any file to proceed further for deployment.
Does any one has idea?
Regards,
NK

Hi,
The Java Support Package Manager is not able to deploy a single .ear file.
If the *.EAR file is placed inside an SCA (Software Component Archive) then JSPM is able to deploy it.
You have to create a .SCA from an .EAR file
SAP note 1223957 contains an attachment (nwpacktool.zip) which can be used to create a .SCA file from the .EAR file.

Support Package Manager for EBPCRM

Hi,
In CRM/EBP SAP systems there is used special 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' to implement Support Packages instead of standard transactions like SPAM/SAINT.
I'm trying to implement more then one Support Package into the system however this is probably not possible. It seems that it is not possible to create import queue with more then one Support Package? Importing SPs one by one is very time consuming task. SO that's why I'm wondering about this special tool.
Do you have similar functionality?
BR
m./

Hi Jose,
Yes I've put all the SPs into '\usr\sap\trans\Eps\in'. But 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' asks me for particular one while I'm going to import it. There is no such an functionality to use queue creation.
BTW: I'm on SAP CRM 4.0 on WIN/MSSQL platform.

Managing JAVA JDK and JRE with Package Management in Solaris 11.1

I want to manage Java JDK & JRE in an Solaris environment using Package Management I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 in a VMWare host. My current latest Java release is JDK1.7.0_07 and JRE1.7.0_07. I want to upgrade to JDK1.7.0_17 & JRE1.7.0_17 using Package Management. I've tried on several occasions to upgrade to latest release of Java but I have not been successful. Each time I try using the Package Management GUI or use command line they appear to be successful but the new release does not show.
What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks

I also learned that the READMEs for the following patches in My Oracle Support also describe the downgrave process:
Patch 18362676: JAVA 6 DOWNGRADE INCORPORATION FOR ORACLE SOLARIS 11.1.15.4.0 AND 11.1.16.5.0

Slackware user - Arch install process and package management questions

I currently am using Slackware 12 with updates. It has become increasingly cumbersome to compile new software given the number of dependencies that also have to be compiled, and have their own dependencies compiled, etc and so on.
Other than the fact that the adoption of new packages is somewhat glacial, and that there is no automatic dependency resolution, I really like Slackware. Its fast, relatively easy to configure, and easy to use. I'm conversant in commandline-ese.
I've been led to understand based on the Arch wiki that Arch is very similar to Slackware in its layout, but with bleeding edge packages and dependency resolution, so I would think it would be about perfect.
However, I also understand that the install is more difficult that Slackware. How much more so is my question. Is it impossibly confusing and unhelpful like Debian installation was, or just slightly more difficult than Slackware or FreeBSD (both of which have very smooth installation scripts)
Also, for packages that have to be compiled from source, are dependancies easy to satisfy from the arch repository, or do dependencies for new software have to be compiled with their dependencies.
I'd probably just be trashing everything but /home, and doing a clean reinstall.
Is Arch the right distro for me, or am I better off staying with Slackware? Like I said, I really like Slackware except for the package management issues.

I've been led to understand based on the Arch wiki that Arch is very similar to Slackware in its layout, but with bleeding edge packages and dependency resolution, so I would think it would be about perfect.
You are right about that.
However, I also understand that the install is more difficult that Slackware. How much more so is my question. Is it impossibly confusing and unhelpful like Debian installation was, or just slightly more difficult than Slackware or FreeBSD (both of which have very smooth installation scripts)
They are quite similar, but Slackware provides more help when doing tasks like - how can I partition my harddisk and so on. But If you're comfortable with Slack's install procedure then installing Arch is much easier, just read the install guide.
I think Arch is good for you, because currently I have both - Slackware and Arch and both suit me fine for my needs.
Also remove all *. entries in your /home

Available APIs for process and package management

Hello All and welcome to my Hello All:
Welcome to my inaugural post. I am a complete noob to Solaris (although I have been using Linux for 5+ years) and am in the process of trying to get a handle on what local C/C++ APIs (if any) are available for management. Specifically, I am looking to find out about process and package management.
For process management, basically I would like to know is there some kind of interface to the the prstat application (ie. Memory and CPU utilization). Does something like this exist?
For package management, I am looking for the ability to add, remove, and query the package �database�. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Solaris package �database� seems similar to that of a Debian system (at least from the perspective that the informational files are stored as plain text in a well-defined directory [ie /var/sadm/pkg/]).
I have installed Solaris 10 on an x86 machine with a full installation; however, of the installed development kits (listed below) nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks.

For process management, basically I would like to
know is there some kind of interface to the the
prstat application (ie. Memory and CPU utilization).
Does something like this exist?Not prstat (although you could 'truss' it and see some of what it's doing to collect the information). kstat is available with a C interface and through perl/shell. It has several CPU fields. It's certainly useful for monitoring, but read-only. I'm not sure what you're looking for in terms of "management".
Also 'dtrace' can provide tons of dynamic information, but that's not necessarily what you're looking for.
For package management, I am looking for the ability
to add, remove, and query the package �database�.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Solaris package
�database� seems similar to that of a Debian system
(at least from the perspective that the
informational files are stored as plain text in a
well-defined directory [ie /var/sadm/pkg/]).Yes, although it's based on the SysV packaging system. I don't believe there's any API for it outside of the 'pkg*' utilities.

Package manager - question?

Hello folks,
I wish to know why Package manager in openSolaris is so
slow application. I know that it is written in Python, but
I still do not understand why somebody did not offer some
patch for that application. I will help honestly in programming
if you need coders.

Please send your question to [email protected] That is the best place for discussion OpenSolaris packaging tools such as packagemanager. This forum is better for Solaris installation issues (from Solaris 10 and SXCE, for example).

Package Manager OEL5R3 not working like it does in RHEL5R3

In Red Hat after you register with RHN, the Package Manager (Add/Remove Programs in the menu) will show a list of package groups that can be pulled from the installation media on the Browse tab. I have found this to be very helpful during initial setup of a system and it does not seem to work at all with OEL5R3.
I have been able to populate the List tab by setting up a yum repository, but was really hoping to see the package groups (which contain many pre-selected packages) in this tool.
I have done a lot of searching and there seems to be very limited information about this tool. When attempting to view the setup on a RHL box through the GUI the app dumps with a python error. The config files themselves do not appear to be straight up yum config files.
Anyone have this working? Does it work properly on R1 or R2?
Thank you...
-Andy

Time for me to clarify, again :)
1) RPM package groups are a supported feature for OEL, including the RPM tools.
2) The availability of package groups, along with their presentation offering
on the pirut, system-config-packages, or GNOME menu, depends on whether or
not a particular repository provides the necessary "comps.xml" definition
files. Without these files, pirut doesn't know anything about package
groups.
3) OEL installation media provides these "comps.xml" files, so RPM package
groups are available during initial installation.
4) The ULN Network has the files available for download, depending on the
channel subscriptions, but does not utilize them for the ability to download
or update on a package group basis.
5) Oracle offers a public YUM repository, where package groups may be used.
More details on this are on the http://public-yum.oracle.com web site,
including a "public-yum-{el4,el5,ovm2}.repo" definition file that can be
installed into "/etc/yum.repos.d/" for yum(8) access.
6) Once you have the public YUM repository setup from #5, you can use pirut,
system-config-packages, et. al., to install an RPM package group.
The catch is the packages will be from the original distribution media, so
after that you must "yum update" or "up2date --update" to get the latest
versions.
Hope this clarifies my earlier too-succinct response.

Package Management for CodeExchange ABAP projects

Hi CodeExchange ABAP Contributors,
according to the size of ABAP in the [https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/codex/projects|CodeExchange Project Directory Tag cloud] most of the Projects are ABAP based. Some of them like Twibap, ABAP JSON and ABAP OAuth depend on each other. That is also the case if you want to install packages using [SAPLink|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/], then you need in the most of the cases some [Plugin|http://code.google.com/p/saplink/wiki/pluginList] installed. That can be sometimes very cumbersome.
As a user of Perl, PHP and Ruby I was using their package management systems like CPAN, Pear and Gems. They provide an easy command line interface to install and update packages. In addition they take care about dependencies.
I think it's time to start working on a Package Management for CodeExchange ABAP projects. Let's call it ABAP Package Management (APM). SAPLink providing the container to exchange the package and ZAKE to handle the download and install can be a good starting point.
Let's discuss the problem space here and perhaps we also can involve someone who has perhaps already some experience in building a package management system.
Best regards
Gregor

Hi,
an XML file to be included into the nugg that describes dependencies on a base of Plugin ID, Plugin Name and Version should be enough.
The XML should be managed by SAPLink, the hard job is to automatically download and install the plugins.
How to login to CodExch?
How to download the certified version of the plugin? A project can delete an old version nugg.
As you said we need a central instance were the plugin version are versioned and identified univocally.
Indeed we need a page in code exchange or a tool in release page in order to register the current file as versioned.
Regards,
Ivan

Filesystem abstraction in package management

Hey all .. just a thought I had the other night, wanted to share and get opinons on it.
Probably not anything new, but I was wondering why some kinda filesystem abstraction layer couldnt be implemented in a package management system such as libalpm/pacman ? For instance, instead of storing information as 'absolute' directories, one could store data such as $appdir or $bindir or $libdir, so on and so forth. Information as to where that points to is stored in the config files locally, for any particular distro.
Potentially one particular dev could package a tarball containing a PKGBUILD with info as to how to build & install the software, along with dependencies, and then locally the package management system takes care of installing everything in the right manner, building the source with the right tools / configurations if needed.
Im not sure if im explaining this right, but anyway, let me know what you guys think. Maybe there are other factors in play that prevent something like that from being implemented. i dunno ?

How do I stop VI Package Manager from crashing when I try to use it?

So I've been wanting to play around with the Arduino toolkit, but when I installed the VI Package Manager, the splash screen stayed up for a very long time. I tried quitting in Task Manager, and running it again. This time after about 10 seconds, it gave me the standard Windows crash dialog. I tried running it as Administrator, but that didn't help. I also tried running it in XP compatibility mode, and that opened a popup saying it couldn't detect a LabVIEW installation, but it still wouldn't load (It didn't crash though; just stayed at the splash screen.) I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, and LabVIEW 2011 Professional Development System.

You really should ask this question on the VIPM board at JKI.

JKI package manager and LV7.1?

Hi folks,
If this isn't the appropriate forum for this question, please re-direct me. I'm using LV7.1 at work and home. At home, I'm running it under Vista - I haven't run into any problems with this, but I'm not using any hardware - just writing standalone programs for number crunching type stuff. Having recently seen the Moore Good Ideas VI packages, I decided to try installing them at home, but I can't get the required JKI Package Manager to work properly. It recognizes the LV version and will even launch LV, but when I go to install a VI package (any package, MGI or OpenG, etc.), it just sits there with the Package Manager process indicator going endlessly (I let it run for 20 mins once). I am sure I have the LV settings correct per the instructions. Does anyone have experience with this combination (JKI pkg mgr/LV71/Vista) or possibly the former two with XP? Some of the available VI packages are supposedly compatible with LV7 (and 6 for that matter), so I assumed it would work somehow - bad assumption?
