[Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Solaris Package System |

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Matt Behrens <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: mbsd
Other License:
Package: Solaris Package System
System name: solpkg
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project
solpkg is a system not unlike the OpenBSD ports system, except its goal is to
create Sun Solaris packages out of source code tarballs (usually free software
packages). This helps with the problem that source code and binaries are often
available for Solaris for many free software packages, but the steps taken to
build the binaries are either not given or are not given in a way that can be
easily run after changes are made to a source package.
solpkg is a collection of makefiles that will run with standard Solaris make
and will untar, patch, configure, build, and make a package that can be
installed with Solaris package tools. The makefile \"recipe\" for each package
is very short, as most of the steps for package building
are abstracted out into a global makefile. Most people will use solpkg by
grabbing the most recent CVS checkout and building packages from the makefiles.
The entire thing will be modified-BSD licensed.
It does not exist yet in public form. It is currently a functional internal
project.
