Well, I love a challenge. Thanks for the info on package classes in current
(I had seen the Junk tag but thought all the current packages had it). I
guess I will pursue rt under the local tree first.

While I have your attention - I am a little uncertain about "rpm
--makeproxy". My current homebrew package system lets me select per
package/host whether I want the software locally installed or linked to an
NFS volume. It looks like makeproxy will let me do that with openpkg. The
only strange thing is that the links point to exactly the same openpkg tree
- for example if my tree is /opt/openpkg then after installing the proxy gcc
rpm into the tree the link for bin/gcc would point to /opt/openpkg/bin/gcc
too - a circular link. I would want it to point to something like
/automount/openpkg-sparc64-solaris2.9/bin/gcc. I see that all the links are
indirect through a .prefix-gcc link - am I supposed to override that link
after installing? The .prefix-gcc link does not appear to be tagged as a
config file. Or is there another option to --makeproxy that specifies where
the prefix link should point? The latter seems ideal to me.
