Puppet / PUP-7758 package should use update instead of list on Solaris Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: PUP 4.10.4 Assignee: Shawn Ferry Created: 2017/07/06 2:37 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Shawn Ferry pkg list [-n|-a] are currently used in the pkg provider to find latest/available packages. This method is imprecise; current logic later uses `pkg update -nv name` to determine if a package can be installed. This logic can be reduced to `pkg update -nv name[@should]` Additionally, --parsable=0 can be added to return json formatted results. pkg update also triggers a metadata refresh which also solves the workaround of adding a manual refresh PUP-7745.
