For those of you with Solaris boxes on which you usually install the
SunFreeware.com packages, check out the Community Software project at
http://www.blastwave.org.  It's a wider community-based packaging effort
that not only tends to keep packages more current (and has more of
them), but also actually uses the dependency field in SysV packages,
which makes installing with pkg-get much easier.  (Their packages also
go into /opt, so /usr/local isn't cluttered with non-local software.)
