Anyone who wanted to was always free to contribute such packages to OpenSolaris, via spec-files-extra and later, Source Juicer. Not many people ever did, and of those, not everyone subsequently kept them up to date. If OpenIndiana can find the people to port and maintain a large package library that Sun/Oracle never could, then fair play to them!
