That is very specific. Thank you.
-------------------------------------
What is the difference between "member" and "user"?
A user is anybody using the packages. A maintainer is somebody who
has build a package. After that, maintainers can apply for membership
to the OpenCSW association. You can read the bylaws and member list at
<http://wiki.opencsw.org/open-community-software-project-bylaws>
-------------------------------------
Below, you say:
"Aha! For gcc we just use our own OpenCSW GCC compilers, which are
not
relocatable."
I'm sorry, but 2 things, then, I don't understand:
1) What do you mean "not relocatable"?
They are in /opt/csw/gcc<version>. You can not install them anywhere
alere
because there are hardcoded pathes in there. You can install the Sun
Studio
compiler to arbitrary pathes, though.
2) What, if anything, involves "our own ... compilers"? What good does
this do for me?
If a package has been compiled with gcc and the flags are recorded you
may be forced to use the same compiler.
-----------------------------------
If I wish to extend Python and wish to use the 5.8 sparc version
OpenCSW
package for Python, then it would seem that I have to have Sun
Studio 11
for myself. My SunBlade100 with 5.8 is configured with too few
resources
for Studio 11.
I would recommend buying a 120 GB PATA disk for 5$ from the fleamarket,
Are any of us OpenCSW users privy to the exact procedures involved in
all packages made? If I knew it I would duplicate the Python making
process using my gcc.
The builds at OpenCSW are done with GAR and the build description is
available
at
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/python/trunk

You can find an introduction to GAR at http://gar.opencsw.org

I am a Solaris user, but Pratt Whitney's connection to the internet is
strictly through controlled Windows boxes with which I am
unfamiliar. I
tried to post from
http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.os.solaris.opencsw.user&follo
wup=581 but was denied because there was a [x] where some picture is
supposed to be, thus was unable to "Enter the word above:"
So what is the protocol to do a followup given the above situation? Is
filling in Subject sufficient? Does citing the original posters name
in
the first line make it become sufficient? Must I include all of the
original posters text to make it sufficient?
No, just subscribe to users@ and you are then allowed to post:
