I can package pretty much anything complying with Sun / SVR4 in under 30
minutes now (time to compile excluded, since that has to be done regardless
of the packaging system).
But you have created your own tools to do it and so have I. I have my custom
scripts, prototypes, pkgmk, pkgtrans,
You got the point, there are too many Unix PMS.
Variation is not diversity. Variation increase the
cost of any engineering task.
Oversight: there are so many UNIX software management systems out there because
not only do those account for the packages on the system, they account for
This post from me contains English grammtical and typing errors.I trust the

I've been playing with OpenPKG for a while.
What I don't like about it:
- RPMs are of no use if you want to customize the build (all rpms install in
/openpkg/*)
- It lives in a self-contained area
I'm sure this is necessary in multi-OS environment because everyone have
their own directory

It solves the dependency problems, installs or deinstalls taking care of

That's wrong. You have acess to the .src.rpm for customisations, and

The reason I abandoned Debian and went to Gentoo was because I couldn't have all
the applications I wanted installed at the same time due to conflicting library
requirements. At least Gentoo has slots which handles these sorts of things. I
think the best package management system does not exist

Hi all,
At the moment I'm looking for a Sun-way of building
Solaris packages (Like SUNW), with a proper build
environment, but unfortunately there are too many
ways. I already have my own customized environment,
Sun-way is SVR4 pkgadd PMS, period. I don't work for Sun and I like

Sunfreeware is just plain BUSTED because Steve
