Sounds cool from your email. Though I didn’t
see any openpkg release growing since 2006, I will give a go anyway.

Hi hth,
Thanks for the great information!
I looked at openpkg first. It sounds perfect from the
features page on the web site, but it doesn't seem to have been active since
2006
yep
openpkg is very active, it is one of the principal member of rpm5, most solaris
box run it and, if you like, has also had commercial support (http://www.openpkg.com)
Sigh. Jeff Johnson, the "rpm" mantainer and developer for
more than 10 years, work now on http://rpm5.org.
And, let me repeat, rpm5
is very portable on platform different from Linux: rpm of http://rpm.org isn't so portable. Guess why in
2008 AIX 5.3 use rpm 3.0.5 (1999 )?
Some google search on the argument can help
JMHO, YMMV
over there, it redirected me to http://www.sunrpms.org/
where it provides Solaris 10 Sparc pkg of rpm. Oh yeah!
Point my mouse to the link, it shows that it is actually
rpm-4.0.4-sparc-sol10.pkg. I come back to rpm 4!
Anyway, I got a pkg package of rpm which should be
installable on Solaris 10. I will give it a go!
Cheers,
Yukun

Hi
guys,
We
are trying to use rpm as our application's package management system on Solaris
10. I wonder if anyone has experience installing rpm onto Solaris 10,
preferably yum as well.
If
I compile it on Solaris 10, there should be also a lot gnu c libraries required
I guess.
Not is necessary to use gnu c lib or gcc itself to use rpm on Solaris: for
maximum portability i raccomend rpm5 (http://rpm5.org)
of course. RPM5 has been ported to many platform, with a mixture of diverse
compiler and different c library as µClibc. OTHO, if you want a simple porting
of rpm5 on solaris 10 you can use the openpkg http://www.openpkg.org/
project. AFAICT most client sun use it.
hth
Thanks
in advance
