This README describes pkgsrc on a variety of Solaris-derived operating
systems. It corresponds to pkgsrc/platform/SunOS.mk. The relevant
operating systems are:
- illumos (open-source fork, OpenIndiana, OmniOS, SmartOS, and others)
- illumos (open source fork, OpenIndiana, OmniOS, SmartOS, and others)
