Description

pkgadd -d has two meanings: Devices or datastreams. In the latter invocation, you can say

{{{ pkgadd -d http://packages.company.com/EXMPLpkg all }}}

And it will pull the stream via HTTP and install it.

Datastreams can also be local, however.

sun.rb needs some way to know we want a datastream instead of a device so it can build the proper command.

In addition to “datastream” (or whatever), it may also be helpful to have a “force” flag. Some packages are (pointlessly) built requiring interactivity. Piping them through yes sorts that out.
