Yeah I've looked at blastwave before. Just never used it. I see they have packages for tla.
Basically, if we are constrained to use Solaris, we start by installing the Blastwave bits so we can pkg-add useful things that Solaris omits.
WHo builds the packages they distribute? I was unable to find any details. It looks like Sun backs them.
I don't know ... I think it is a community effort.
The tla tar ball I dl'd had issues and wouldn't build.
We have found this to be the case with huge swaths of FOSS software. As Dan noted, you might give the Linux direction a serious consideration ... stuff just works there (tla, etc... ).
On that note, I seem to remember that tla is now in maint mode (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_revision_control_software under Gnu arch). This might or might not pose a problem for users of it.
