Sorry. I'll go to the OpenCSW group if I find I need their packages. OpenIndiana didn't seem to be listed on their website as something they support. And after three weeks of my first OI install, I probably wasn't thinking very clearly. System admin stuff isn't an area I'm very strong in.

Hi, But what about using pkgbuild from the spec file extra (SFE) team which is available from the OI-SFE repository ? You can build you packages and publish them to your own local IPS repository in no time. You actually don't need to learn how to make IPS packages, just write spec files like for R
