Alba-Experiment Description

Alba-Experiment is an implementation of Gentoo over Solaris or Portage for Solaris. Alba-Experiment is an implementation of Gentoo over Solaris or Portage for Solaris. Alba-Experiment is not a simple package management system, but has the ambition to transform a Solaris system to a full GNU-based development, build, and desktop environment.Known IssuesStage1.5 Release 2006.04.06 * problem with zlib: /usr/lib/libz.so is a GNU ld script, it should be a linkRequirements:- a working installation of Solaris, for a list of minimal packages requirements see docs/Solaris-base-packages.txt. Note that if you have a non-core installation of Solaris some files could be overwritten. Using the Solaris package method (pkgadd) to install the stage1.5 should help you in finding conflicting files. To ensure that portage would not overwrite files you don't want while emerging packages, use the FEATURE='collision-protect' parameter into /etc/make.conf. - add the portage user and group to the system # groupadd -g 250 portage # useradd -u 250 -g portage -G portage -d /var/tmp/portage -m -s /bin/false portageInstallation:Install the stage1.5 file # pkgadd -d < STAGEFILE >obtain the official portage tree with one of the following options: download a portage snapshot and untar it rsync the portage tree obtain the *unofficial* portage tree for Solaris through subversion: # cd /opt # svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/alba-experiment/trunk/portage-x86-sunosdownload a snapshot and untar it create a link to the profile: # ln -sf ../opt/portage-x86-sunos/profiles/default-sunos/x86/5.11/ /etc/make.profileconfigure the make.conf file: add or change PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/opt/portage-x86-sunos edit it or copy the make.conf.example file add the new architecture to default architecture list: # echo x86-sunos >> /usr/portage/profiles/arch.listupdate the environment: # binutils-config i386-pc-solaris2.11-2.16.1 # gcc-config i386-pc-solaris2.11-4.1.0Update/create the library cache # ldconfig 99. enjoy
