Aside from the sporadic download issues, exactly what else seems wrong with ips?

First sorry for my English.


I miss some options when (un)install packege(s) like these:

-f
--force                    Force the (un)install of a package.

This was purposefully omitted. Your system couldn't be properly upgraded if this was supported.

-F
--fetch-only Only fetch packages, do not build, upgrade or install anything.

This is planned functionality.

-R
--upward-recursive Act on all those packages required by the given packages as well.

See 'uninstall -r', unless I've misunderstood what you mean by upward.

How can I uninstall for example Firefox and only the Firefox?

pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWfirefox

But if other packages depend on it, you can't, since that would break those packages.

Cheers,
