[OpenIndiana-discuss] Package buildsystem

[Mads Worsøe Duun]

In the wiki section
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/OpenIndiana+Addon+Consolidations?focusedCommentId=4883385#comment-4883385it
says a BSD-ports buildsystem will be added later to Openindiana. I
very
much like this idea, but has anyone thought about witch system to use? Will
it be a system designed from scratch, or will an already existing system be
ported?

Personally I vote for NetBSD's pkgsrc. It already bootstraps and partially
works on Openindiana. Partially because a lot of packages will not build,
because of missing Solaris patches. In the future, a tool that convert
packages from pkgsrc to IPS could be developed.
