Sure, these are on the qa pages, e.g. http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/cgi-bin/depgraph?pkg=imagemagick (the generation of the graph takes a little time, be patient) You can click on some boxes and package names, feel free to play around with it. > Separately, and I'll probably see this shortly, but is there a Solaris 11 x86 > or SPARC system in the buildfarm?

Nobody has donated one yet ;-) Best regards — Dago -- "You don't become great by trying to be great, you become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process." - xkcd #896
