Anyone who wanted to was always free to contribute such packages to OpenSolaris, via \
spec-files-extra and later, Source Juicer.  Not many people ever did, and of those, \
not everyone subsequently kept them up to date.  If OpenIndiana can find the people \
to port and maintain a large package library that Sun/Oracle never could, then fair \
play to them!

Cheeri,
