Message-Id: <200201111133.g0BBX6J12642@bandsept.script.jussieu.fr> From: Stoned Elipot To: tech-pkg@netbsd.org Subject: Binary packages for Soalris 8 sparc available Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 12:33:06 +0100 Hi, I have made a few packages available which should help people to use the NetBSD packages collection (pkgsrc) on Solaris. Those packages are intended to allow one to start using pkgsrc on a otherwise fresh Solaris 8 sparc machine. They provide the minimum required tools to install further software from pkgsrc. Their prefix/basedir is /usr/pkg. Below is the list of these packages, their URL and a short description. Located in ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/seb you will find: TNFzoul-20010704-01-sol8-sparc.gz This is a Solaris package for Zoularis version 20010704. It installs itself in /usr/pkg/bsd path. One installs it - after uncompressing it with Solaris' /usr/bin/gunzip - with Solaris' /usr/sbin/pkgadd command. solaris8-sparc-packages/gtexinfo-4.0.tgz This is GNU texinfo 4.0 package in pkg_* format. It is a prerequisite for the following packages. To be installed with /usr/pkg/bsd/bin/pkg_add. solaris8-sparc-packages/gcc-2.95.3.tgz This is GNU gcc 2.95.3 package in pkg_* format. To be installed with /usr/pkg/bsd/bin/pkg_add. solaris8-sparc-packages/cvs-1.11nb2.tgz This is CVS 1.11 package in pkg_* format. It would allow you to grab latest pkgsrc sources from say anoncvs.netbsd.org. To be installed with /usr/pkg/bsd/bin/pkg_add. solaris8-sparc-packages-svr4/TNF{gtexin-4.0,gcc-2.95.3,cvs-1.11nb2}-sol8-sparc.gz Those are the same package as the previous three but in Solaris format. They can be installed - after uncompressing them with Solaris' /usr/bin/gunzip - with Solaris' /usr/sbin/pkgadd if you find this more convenient. Note: An outstanding little quirk in pkg_* commands would require you to explicitly specify the PKG_TMPDIR in the environment while running the pkg_add command. Example for /bin/sh : PKG_TMPDIR=/tmp /usr/pkg/bsd/bin/pkg_add gcc-2.95.3.tgz Enjoy, Stoned.
