Why don't you use /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get from http://www.blastwave.org/ ? Start here: http://www.blastwave.org/howto.html ( Be sure to enter a faster/closer mirror into /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf ! ) CSW's Packages collection is much more complete (than i.e. sunfreeware's or ccd/dvd's). In fact, it is the most complete Solaris Freeware collection ever created. Plus gets updated more frequently. It certainly also features "the better compiler flags" someone mentioned (what exactly was meant, cpu-isa optimization, example ??). It's getting more complete/more versatile every hour: I only yesterday did a full CSW install to a new x64 box ("yes|pkg-get -i all"). I have to admit, that I myself was was quite a bit schocked then, but see yourself: [...] 27 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/lib/python/zope/thread 20038 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/lib/python/zope 43663 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/lib/python 43664 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/lib 2 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/Extensions 2 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/Products 9 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/bin 28 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/etc 2 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/import 2 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/log 2 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel/var 49 /newroot/opt/csw/zope/skel 44650 /newroot/opt/csw/zope 9410634 /newroot/opt/csw bash-3.00# uname -a SunOS AMD64-Ultra20 5.11 snv_46 i86pc i386 i86pc bash-3.00# ### du -k /newroot/opt/csw was the command ### Wow, it's circa 9GB currently. Damn, it doesn't even fit onto a DualLayer-LiveDVD anymore. cheers, martin p.s. You can of course also join the project and create/maintain your own packages there ;-) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
