I don't know about FreeBSD PORTS, but NetBSD's ports system works very well on solaris. The only thing I didn't like about it is it considers gcc a dependency to certain things, so even though I have Studio 11 installed, it would insist on installing gcc, which kinda irritated me. :)
pkgsrc is ok, but I found it got very messy very quickly once you get a reasonably sized dependency tree. portugrade. FreeBSD portupgrade (a layer on top of ports, but easy to install) handled that much better. To be fair I haven't used NetBSD in a couple of years - but pkgsrc was the reason I left :) -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
