I have put up a complete set of binary packages for KDE4 for
Solaris 10/X86-64 on bionicmutton.

I have written a script to do as much validation to make sure
accounts, account priviliges, space requirements, etc are
satisfied to install.

Downloads: 700MB
Uncompressed pkgs: 2GB
/opt/foss 1.3GB
/opt/kde-4.1 700MB

The script is at wget
http://solaris.bionicmutton.org/PKGS/S10-x64/Install-s10-x64-kde4.sh

It has several options.  You must set SRC_DOWNLOAD to a location that
has 3GB of free space, not including the requirements for 2GB on /opt.

There is an option to download, unroll, and remove the tarball and pkg dir
after install which minimizes the need for keeping it all local. This is done
by editing the following variables in the script as such:

KEEP_TARBALL=NO
KEEP_PKGDIRS=NO

I have tested the script locally, and other than not downloading the tarballs to
my local system, the script stands up a beautiful KDE4 install for Solaris 10.
You are expected to follow the instructions the script give you if you are
missing accounts or privilieges.

No warranties, implied or otherwise.  I'm doing this just because I'm hoping
other folks will help test KDE4 and be able to report bugs.  It does take
about a day to build KDE4 as I've packaged it, so the build is not trivial.

Warning: This is for Solaris 10/X86-64 system only.

I may be able to post a 32-bit version shortly, but am cleaning up some
things in the build.

Ben
