Did you ever see Solaris installations without GNU-tools from

Hnngh! Missing dependencies (do the package format support it at all?),
Solaris packages support dependencies.
That's what the "depend" file is for.
Great, now if sunfreeware would just use it ;-)
Disclaimer: I havn't checked the entire archive.
no splitting (why should I need apache2 for the portability library
libapr?), odd things like needing sunfreeware gzip instead of the
solaris one in some packages (something that you don't notice until its
too late)... its like going way back in time to slackware.
Brian complained about the package format and not about specific
packages.
I've also seen horrible rpm or dpkg packages, but that's irrelevant when
talking about package formats.
I was talking about sunfreeware.com packages. Maybe it wasn't clear enough.
