Ok, here's what I can say right now:

- I installed openpkg from binary on a b1000 with "entire distribution". I
needed SFWgcm and SFWgcc for the gcc from openpkg to build anything at all.
No real information gain here for you.

- I installed openpkg fine from binary on a couple of jumpstarted machines
with

SUNWreq (minimal cluster)
SUNWdoc (man)
SUNWlibC (for man)
SUNWgzip (to unzip stuff from companion CD)
SUNWcpp  (all of the rest for a minimal X setup for XForwarding)
SUNWxwfnt
SUNWxwplt
SUNWxwice
SUNWxwopt

I will test apache (with mod_php) today to see if my project (min. Solaris +
openpkg for LAMP web servers) can be done at all. If I find any further
requirements I will mail them in. I am sorry that I cannot test all other
rpms, but hopefully they should be self-contained anyway, if I have
understood the thing at all.

The next quest will be to a.) set up the build box in a way that it
autobuilds the updates nightly and that b.) the slaves in production check
for updates on the build box (with autoupdate or openpkg-tool).

If all goes well, at the end I will try to strip down the "SUNWreq" boxes
even more to remove all packages with unwanted services or stuff that is in
openpkg, too.
