I guess I thought I had posited SFE as the prime contributing group: > > ... a "contrib" repository, with the largest component being > > binary packages from the recipes in the spec-files-extra or the > > F/OSS package base projects > > > > http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/ > > http://opensolaris.org/os/project/pkgbase/ > > > > (depending on what Laca and company say, of course). These are SFE and "newer SFE-like thing"(?), respectively. I wasn't certain that a contrib/ repository needed to be exclusively SFE-built, however. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
