Hi list!
I've been using Fink for a long time now, and I've recently been hired by Sun (summer internship) to create/port a debian-like packaging system to Solaris.
I've a simple question: do you devs, who know Fink's internals, think it's easy to port to Solaris? Given 'dpkg' and 'apt' already have been ported?
I think it would be pretty easy, actually. Fink is written in perl, so as long as perl 5.6 or better is on the computers, fink itself will run. You may need to modify a few things, because some packages are patched to work better with os x, but since everything is opensource, you are free to do it :-) It may be a pain to keep everything synced with fink, but the core of it should work fine.
Hope it works well,
