OBSOLETE PROJECT**

VirtualBox.org is now supporting IPS (Solaris Image Packaging System) since:

VirtualBox 6.1.18 (released January 19 2021)

This (obsoleted) old script converts SVR4 "pkgadd" style packages of VirtualBox into Solaris IPS (Image Packaging System) packages. These packages can be used to install the VirtualBox guest additions for Solaris using IPS "pkg" commands or from within AI (Automated Installer) manifests.

The script may still be useful in some special situations, for example if there is a reason to use the SVR4 packages instead of the IPS and convert the packages manually.

pkgbuild
This project has a lively SVN repository for build recipes, over 1000 F/OSS softwares are available. The tool "pkgbuild" is for building packages on Solaris 11/OpenIndiana from RPM-like spec files. The tool also runs on OmniOS. If you want, you can create new style IPS packages and old style SVR4 packages for Solaris 10. The tool is not updated frequently, but the following "build recipes" for pkgbuild is updated every day. For a few hundred build-recipes see the sub-project "spec-files-extra" or "SFE". We already have stacks of e.g. multimedia players mplyer/vlc or postfix/dovecot/cyrus-sasl/spamfiltering. But there is so much more to be added! Volunteers to the build-recipes are always welcome. Please ask on the mailing list or irc://irc.freenode.org/#pkgbuild Please proceed now with the link below and remember to visit "SFE" on the left and browse through the available packages list in SVN. Or go for one of the binary repositories with ready-to-use IPS packages.
