If any maintainers are interested, there is a reasonably complete version of graphviz (today's development snapshot) in /home/ellson/pkgs/graphviz/graphviz-2.23.20090513.0445,REV=2009.05.13-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz on the build farm. Should I put this someplace? It built. I haven't tried executing it. After installing, it will need "dot -c" run
with installer privileges in order to register its plugins.

If it installs ok you could try it with something like:

   echo "digraph{Hello->World}" | dot -Tpng | xv -

I tried building an equivalent i386 version, but it needs the latest gtk2 which is not yet on build8xt ?

I don't feel that this package is ready for release yet. I want to do the following first:

   - Generate a new stable release of graphviz upstream.
   - Migrate the opencsw maintenance to the mgar mechanism
- Find out how to run "dot -c" in a post-install step with installer privileges. To register plugins. - Find out how to split the build products into multiple binary packages with segregated dependencies.
   - Try to package "gts" and "lasi" first, so that graphviz can use them
- Not really critical, but see if I can get some more of the swig'ed language bindings to work
         currently building with support for: perl, C#, tcl
         missing are:  python, php, ruby, guile, java, lua, ocaml
It may just be that these languages are not installed on the build hosts? I haven't investigated yet.
