A bit over a year ago, I wrote a message that said: A few suggestions that have been on the list at one point or another: rpm.rutgers.edu (disclaimer: I'm partial to this site...) http://www.fetterconsulting.com/solaris_rpm_howto.htm www.openpkg.org and I think I'd still claim the same thing. A more modern update: We coerced a RPM 4.4 binary out of a Solaris 10 beta machine a few months back. The quality wasn't nearly good enough for release (and we like supporting older versions of Solaris; Solaris 9 at a minimum) but the biggest issues were in the use of glibc functions that Solaris doesn't provide. Anybody with experience in cross-platform software builds should be able to work through these to a production state with moderate work.
