[SunHELP] pkgmk prompt

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

I gave it and shot and added the parameters that you had, and ended up with:

pkgmk -o -r `pwd` -d /var/spool/pkg -f `pwd`/prototype

Still no luck.  I did notice that you had a "!search" parameter in your
prototype file.  I'm use a BASEDIR variable in my pkginfo, so everything in
my prototype file is relative.  I added "!search .", but it didn't seem to
change anything.

Incidentally, I'm also trying to package up BigBrother to use on client
machines.

I use 'pkgmk -o -r / -d `pwd` -f /tmp/proto', where /tmp/proto is headed by:

(for example from my latest package)

!search /usr/local/bigbrother/clients
i pkginfo
i preinstall
f none /etc/rc3.d/S90bigbrother 0755 bb bb
d none /usr/local/bigbrother/bb18c1 0755 bb bb
s none /usr/local/bigbrother/bb=bb18c1

And don't get prompted.

"We are either doing something, or we are not.
'Talking about' is a subset of 'not'."
