[OpenIndiana-discuss] Package buildsystem

[Dustin Marquess]

While personally all of my OpenIndianan/Solaris servers use pkgsrc (it
rocks!), I personally think effort would be best spent fixing the existing
packages in pkgsrc upstream.  I know the DragonflyBSD devs do this, that way
they automatically benefit from changes upstream.
