Hi! As you may know, Joyent use pkgsrc to provide binary packages for SmartOS. We currently build a limited set, in order to ensure that the packages we do provide behave as users expect (SMF support, etc.)
As an alternative, there is now a full build of pkgsrc-2012Q2 available for SmartOS and other illumos-derived systems, consisting of 9,401 binary packages (without SMF bits, etc). Details of how to install them are here: http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/9000-packages-for-smartos-and-illumos.html Feedback would be really appreciated, especially from non-SmartOS users as I have not tested on other illumos forks. We are hoping to hit 10,000 packages for pkgsrc's 15th birthday in 2012Q3.
