Hi there,
my life system on which I am using openpkg now is a whole set of solaris 
boxes, netra's, ultra 10's and e250 - e450.
Now most of the packages are simply perfect. I am still impressed with the 
eay install and handling. But I have one problem and I know the solution 
for it but I would like to know why things are handled that way. In all 
packages I find on ftp.openpkg.org, shared libraries are disabled. This 
breaks a lot of stuff I wanted to add as packages. Especially in the case 
of the dev libraries, like sasl or pth, packages using that break since 
they gt unresolved dependencies on solaris. I patched the spec files to 
exclude --disable shared, but still would like to know why it is done like 
that in the first place ? Is ther a particular reason for that ?

I also found some no go's in current packages if used on solaris. WHre 
should I sent the patched spec to ?

cheers

Michael
