Frkit is a tool that enables one to easily download modules and manage them. The list of modules is maintained as a manifest. When this tool is run, it downloads new modules (if available) including newer versions of modules previously installed based on this manifest. The user is presented with a list modules to choose from. Frkit can also be used to checkpoint a set of installed modules or ignore a set of modules. The command must be run as root.

The current manifest contains:

  1. acpidrv
  2. gnome battery applet
  3. powernown
  4. gnome emi-freq applet

NOTE THAT THE MODULES DELIVERED BY FRKIT MAY NOT HAVE UNDERGONE THE STANDARD SOLARIS TEST CYCLE. ASSUME ALL MODULES TO BE TRIAL BALLOONS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL EVER BE INTERGRATED INTO SOLARIS OR OPENSOLARIS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Installation

Download the frkit. Run it as root. It will create directories in /var/spool and install the script in /usr/sbin.
