This is the top-level of the Solaris Community SoftWare archive. Volunteers create binary packages for Solaris, that anyone can use. (Unless you are in a cryptographically embargoed country like Libya, Iran, Iraq, and other excluded countries barred from crypto by the US State department, in which case you may not use this archive) All CSW packages install into /opt/csw, with the binaries usually found in /opt/csw/bin The simplest way to download and install packages, is to grab the portable "pkg_get.pkg" package and install it on your system. Download it from this directory, run # pkgadd -d pkg_get.pkg as root [You may also need to install either wget-i386 or wget-sparc as wget somewhere in your PATH ] You should then edit /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf, or create /etc/opt/csw/pkg-get.conf if you prefer, and update it to use the closest mirror site to you, and the appropriate subdirectory; "unstable", or "stable" "Unstable" is for freshly created packages. "Stable" is for packages that have been tested for a while in "Unstable". For more information on the CSW effort, please visit http://www.blastwave.org/ There you will find details on volunteering to maintain packages, or on signing up to be an official mirror site GPL note: You may get a list of any source changes that were needed to compile a particular package, by contacting the maintainer of the specific package in question. In general, no source code changes are involved in our packages.
