Hardly. I've worked with the JDS source downloads. You can just extract it to a ~/devel directory of your choice using tar, then setup CBE, and use pkgbuild to create a new package based off the directory it contained. Or, if you want, you can grab the sources out of: reloc/share/src/*/SOURCES along with all the patches and any accompanying man pages. It probablky wouldn't take more than 15 minutes or so to write a shell script to automate the process of extracting each file, and then copying or moving all the files out of the "SOURCES" directory to some place of your choice in a new structure of your own. You don't really have to use pkgadd to use the JDS source downloads at all. I didn't :) -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
