Actually its quite straightforward. Here are some links to get you started: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/ http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/ http://blogs.sun.com/eric_boutilier/entry/opensolaris_freeware_package_creation http://blogs.sun.com/eric_boutilier/entry/opensolaris_freeware_package_creation_%28continued%29 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch08s02.html#id2966564 And that doesn't mean RTFM ;-) For the hackathon or not, if anyone is interested in a hands-on "PkgBuild For Dummies" session, please speak-up. We will decide upon it if we have a decent number. Cheers, Ananth
