Hi Folks. I may be in the wrong forum here but here goes.
I have seen entries on this topic over the web extolling the virtues of OpenCSW and Blastwave as yum and apt-get equivalents for Solaris. The problem I run into is the dependency tree for these products. I have been looking at OpenCSW and see it requires many packages from OpenCSW mirrors to run up pkgutil. In a largish environment with fairly strict policies on using pre-compiled binaries from external sources, I end up with SMC / CSW / SUNW / <our internal pkgs> in the mix and some unhappy legal / security staff. The idea I would like to put forward is to write a wrapper for pkgadd/pkgrm/pkginfo/etc.. in Ruby. Keeping it as separate from puppet as yum and apt-get to keep the model standard with a repo residing on a web server with a catalog. My reason for Ruby is that the solaris host that is a puppet client will already have Ruby installed so I have no extra guff to install on my closely guarded clients. At this stage it is just something I was thinking about this morning. I would like to know if there is any interest in here for such a thing ? Am I insane ? Has it already been done ?
