About...

Pkgbase provides build recipes and binary packages for popular opensource software (F/OSS) for Solaris Nevada. It also provides a set of related management tools. For example there is pkgbuild, which is modeled after rpmbuild.

The packages install most files to /usr, files that conflict with Solaris go to /usr/gnu, as described in the /usr/gnu ARC case: PSARC/2007/047.
