I'll think about adding some documentation about running TeX Live on 
OpenIndiana.

Perhaps in the "Community contributed" section of the OpenIndiana manual,
I'll see whether I can write some notes on it next week.

As Volker Brandt pointed out - using the install-tl Perl script to install TeX 
Live from TUG,
is equivalent to just downloading that script and running it on OpenIndiana.

The support must come then from TUG or TeXlive.

The good news is that the install-tl TeX Live installer works fine.

Also it is possible to update the TeX Live installation with:

   tlmgr update --all

So the TLMGR is a package management solution (cross - platform) from 
TUG/TeXLive to manage TeXLive installations.

Basically I think now that it's mostly about documenting in the OpenIndiana 
manual,
that this works and is possible.

So the TeX Project at github remains valuable but the deliverable is not 
necessarily a package,
but could also be just some documentation.

On the positive side  I think a TLMGR managed installation of TeX Live would be 
ideal for high-end TeX users who want control over their TeX installation.

The TLMGR is a package management solution specifically for managing all sorts 
of TeX packages such as macro packages.
