How do I spool a package instead of install it?
You can do this with pkgadd -s spooldir. Here's an example of how to spool a package called /var/tmp/gnomelibs.pkg to /junk/spooldir: 

      pkgadd -s /junk/spooldir -d /var/tmp/gnomelibs.pkg

This will create /junk/spooldir/gnomelibs/ that contains the standard layout for a package, which you might be curious about. That layout looks like the following, but only the first three items remain constant. The last one I've seen named root: 

     drwx------    2 root    sys        96 Jan 18 16:55 install
     -rw-r--r--    1 root    sys       253 Oct 30 10:01 pkginfo
     -rw-r--r--    1 root    sys     60840 Oct 30 10:01 pkgmap
     drwx------    3 root    sys        96 Jan 18 16:55 reloc


   Your perms may be less restrictive, because I use C2 security.
