Introduction
------------
-System administrators have to work with software every day. Solaris brings
-more and more programs with every release. However, the world of open source is
-big and there is always missing something. OpenCSW fills this gap by providing
-a large amount of precompiled software and open source build recipes.
-The packages can be installed comfortably with automatic dependency resolution
-but require root access to the machine. If you really want to compile your
-own software, the build recipes are available for all packages too.
+The world of open source is big. Although Solaris releases do contain the
+software companion disc, there's always more projects out there that can fit
+there.
-Solaris 10 is fully supported. Solaris 8 and 9 get best effort support level.
-As of January 2012, Solaris 8 catalogs do not get any updates, and Solaris
-9 catalogs get some amount of updates.
+OpenCSW fills this gap by providing binary packages, together with their build
+recipes. The packages can be installed comfortably with automatic dependency
+resolution, and require root access to the machine. If you want to compile and
+build packages on your own, the build recipes are available for all packages
+too.

This was sent by the SourceForge.net collaborative development platform, the
world's largest Open Source development site.
