Correct, but Sun removed drivers that people with sun4u machines like to have. This is e.g. why Martin likes to start with snv_125 - I am quoting Martin here. Having brought back the Sun-removed SVr4 package support in SchilliX-ON, I know that this kind of work is nothing you can do quickly. But maybe, this driver task is simpler, as I expect the drivers to be in a consistent state before removal. The SVR4 package meta data on the other side was never in a consistent state as the SVR4 package meta from Sun did depend on files that where neither in the source tree nor in the closed source tarball. BTW: the IPS meta data was also in an inconstsient state but IPS silently ignores missing files....so the package creation did not abort. Did you fix that for Illumos?
