The /opt/sfw GTK+ packages are available from Sun:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/
Aside from Sun you can get Solaris packages from the following locations
(and many others):
http://www.sunfreeware.com/
http://www.blastwave.com/
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/
http://www.openpkg.org/
At some point I'd like to update the Solaris packages to use GLib/GTK+
2, ADNS, PCRE, and Net-SNMP along with a few other improvements. Is
there a particular freeware package distribution that should be used for
this? Should we do like commercial packages (i.e. CiscoWorks) and dump
Ethereal and all of its support libraries into one huge /opt/Ethereal
directory?
While we're on the subject, why does everyone (including Sun) build
separate freeware packages for different versions of Solaris? Shouldn't
a package built for Solaris 8 (or 7 or 2.5.1) run just fine under 10?
(This isn't Linux, after all.)
