Hi guys,

 

We are trying to use rpm as our application's package management system on Solaris 10. I wonder if anyone has experience installing rpm onto Solaris 10, preferably yum as well.

 

If I compile it on Solaris 10, there should be also a lot gnu c libraries required I guess.

Not is necessary to use gnu c lib or gcc itself to use rpm on Solaris: for maximum portability i raccomend rpm5 (http://rpm5.org) of course. RPM5 has been ported to many platform, with a mixture of diverse compiler and different c library as µClibc. OTHO, if you want a simple porting of rpm5 on solaris 10 you can use the openpkg  http://www.openpkg.org/  project. AFAICT most client sun use it.
