So far, three systems have come to pass which are
impressive for auto porting code to Solaris:
1. Portaris (Gentoo's Portage for Solaris)
2. Nexenta's Autobuilder
3. Blastwave's SVN/builder (maintained by Cory)
There are the others done by NetBSD, OpenPKG, and many
other people porting open software to Solaris.
[I just thought I'd plug the pkgbuild system here in case the JDS
developers are too busy/humble to chime in...]
Ken -- another impressive (heavily used and proven) build environment is
the Sun GNOME (JDS) ports system based on pkgbuild. It's populated with
lots of packages -- including low-level libraries and other stuff that's
not necesarily GNOME-specific. They are are maintained in an
"auto-porting" source tree and available on opensolaris.org. It's
interesting to note that not all these packages were introduced
directly; some needed packages, like Python, were "adopted" by the JDS
team from the Companion CD consolidation or the SFW consolidation. (One
thing I did a bit of squawking about at Companion CD meetings last
summer was why not evaluate using the JDS build environment as a
replacement for the CCD build environment?)
