To be a more general tool for downloading/inspecting packages?

I guess it wouldn't hurt. I'll add it to my queue. :-)

I haven't forgotten. :-) Just checked in r130 which is a very early version of this. The idea is to move the -T option from the stream option to more generic parts of pkgutil so it can be used with more options, that is all the ones using download which are now also stream and extract.

Expect something more complete tomorrow.

From my Solaris 10 i386:

$ /root/svn/pkgutil/trunk/pkgutil -dN tnef
You're not root and didn't set -W, using current dir.

Note that it gets the 5.8/i386 package if no target is set. Now I set a target.

-bash-3.00$ /root/svn/pkgutil/trunk/pkgutil -dN -T sparc:5.10 tnef

It now fetched the 5.8/sparc package instead.

r131 should be more complete with cleaned up --stream function. Now you should be able to use target for all download operations:

-d -T sparc:5.8
-d --stream -T sparc:5.8
-d --extract -T sparc:5.8

There's a 1.8 beta 1 with this fix in testing now.
