that is not true. dpkg and apt-get are highly configurable software and
could be easilly used in native Solaris enviornment. I actually tried it
myself and managed some Nevada software with dpkg quite succesfully.
Well, for sure you folks have ported apt/dpkg to OpenSolaris and it
works fine. I have used dpkg
in the past and of course it is among the best. But my point was
about the the repository used by
Nexenta. Since it is a repository built for a complete GNU userland,
the packages will fail to work
100% for a distro which uses the complete OpenSolaris userland and
GNU/OSS add-on software.
