Anyway. specifically what I was referring to is something like this... defined(__sun) && defined(__svr4__) So I should have been more clear about a code porting guide.. Gentoo isn't exactly the most popular Linux distro, but I'm the 4th "dev" I know so far to leave and take a look at OpenSolaris. In regards to the clarification about "OpenSolaris package developer" I think it makes perfect sense and to gain ISV support will be increasingly important to make it /easier/ to package, distribute and deploy for IPS.
