At the moment I am maintaining all of this :
http://www.blastware.org/images/blastwave/images/blastwave_front_door.jpg
So that community people can have access to a free and open build
environment to do application port work and to ensure that apps like
KDE, GNOME, Xfce and even bzflag are able to be built by Solaris users
for other Solaris users.
see : http://www.blastwave.org/articles/BLS-0039/index.html
that is Scribus at the bottom there built by Ken Mays
see : http://www.blastwave.org/articles/BLS-0028/index.html
that is Xfce built by Andreas Almroth
see : http://www.blastwave.org/articles/BLS-0032/index.html
for KDE and FlightGear and bzflag all by Ken Mays
There are a whole pile of people behind what Blastwave does and a
large number of apps have their home there :

Lets not forget wine :

or the SMF Manifest Repository :

The problem with a package project for Solaris is not technical.
Merry Christmas !
