We, the team at Blastwave, have already begun work and we will have all of the software packages from the Companion/SFW list rebuilt and in a Solaris 11 branch shortly. These packages will go out onto all of the mirrors and with a software catalog for automated dependency resolution. I am going ahead with a preliminary snv_63 based infrastructure in the CSW namespace at /opt/csw as well as sources to be in /opt/csw/src. All of this is subject to revision later. The user base has a "need" and when I see a "need" in a market space I fill it. Dennis Clarke
