The long term fix for Debian and Slackware style packaging is to add native support for building these packages. Unfortunately, that is a large chunk of work I don't have time for right now. That said it would be nice to have at least basic packages for these distributions. As a quick short/medium term solution I've settled on using alien to convert the RPM packages to DEB or TGZ style packages. The build system has been updated with the following build targets which will first build RPM packages and then convert them as needed to the target package type: make rpm: Create .rpm packages make deb: Create .deb packages make tgz: Create .tgz packages make pkg: Create the right package type for your distribution The solution comes with lot of caveats and your mileage may vary. But basically the big limitations are that the resulting packages: 1) Will not have the correct dependency information. 2) Will not not include the kernel version in the release. 3) Will not handle all differences between distributions. But the resulting packages should be easy to install and remove from your system and take care of running 'depmod -a' and such. As I said at the top this is not the right long term solution. If any of the upstream distribution maintainers want to jump in and help do this right for their distribution I'd love the help. |

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
Documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
