I have gotten ImageMagick, ruby, subversion, GNU coreutils, rsync and other utilities from sunfreeware.com. When I looked at Solaris 6-8 months ago (zfs was the reason) ImageMagick was at 6.0 as a solaris-package and I needed 6.2. So I tried pkgsrc which I thought would be easier do use as package-management, but installing packages was error-prone and I had to use Sun's studio compiler for one package and gcc for another. Ruby was impossible to compile both from source and pkgsrc. Sunfreeware.com's ruby was 1.82 and I needed 1.84. Trying to upgrade postgresql from the Sun-supplied 8.1.6 to 8.2.3 from source takes some time, the package has to be removed etc., there is not yet a package present for 8.2.3. And in the end postgresql failed to start because libreadline.so.5 couldn't be found. So I updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH and changed shell from bash to zsh and edited /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile and .zshrc to get pg_ctl to work but did not succeed. The libreadline package *is* installed and the file is present as well. /())(/"(/%%!$$!$!%!!!==**** And that's when I'm once again is convinced that the FreeBSD-ports-collection is one of the best package-repositories around and hence was curious whether some people did actually use zfs on FreeBSD so I could get the best from both worlds :-) regards Claus
