Keep in mind Solaris 11 is going to ship in a few months and I personally think 10 and 11 will co-exist for years to come. Additionally what ever you put together for Solaris 10 support would mostly work on Solaris 9 as well. > > - What packages? > This might become a nightmare...

We use vanilla Solaris package which is wrapped in a define to give us package version control. Solaris 11 will come with the new IPS packaging system so that will be another alternative. I could imagine using IPS and the traditional pkgadd/pkgrm toolset on the same host to even complicate things more. > If someone if interested is collaborating on this effort, just contact > me....
