Some departments of Rutgers University, specifically New Brunswick Computing Services, use a ported version of the RedHat Package Manager to install and upgrade software on Sun Solaris machines. This website is the main source for our Solaris packages, we also have a similar website for our Linux packages, centos.rutgers.edu.
To report packaging bugs, or for other assistance requests, write to oss@nbcs.rutgers.edu |

Our primary method of installing and updating of Solaris pacakges is done via a port of Debian's apt suite. For Linux (Centos and Fedora), we use the standard yum suite. There are web interfaces to the packages we have available on the right. |

How to Install Solaris 9 on Sparc 64 is supported. There are two main supported releases of this repository, currently named "stable" and "testing". Stable: Frozen and considered well tested for use on primary production servers. Testing: More up-to-date versions which are generally considered stable, but should be used on test machines since the software has not been as well tested as those in stable. |

Bootstrap: (Stable, Testing) Grab ftp://rpm.rutgers.edu/rpm-apt-bootstrap.sh. To install the testing release, set the environment variable RELEASE="testing" Generally, execute this: RELEASE="testing" sh rpm-apt-bootstrap.sh To use stable, omit the variable declaration, since stable is chosen by default. |
