The correct question to ask here is this :

IF pkgadd was made open source AND the sources were easily available as a
download in the past THEN why were they made no longer *easily* available
?

That is the question that I have.

Regardless of what people may think, the pkgadd tool works and the SVR4
package spec works from Solaris 8 upwards. It isn't elegant and blah blah
blah but it works.
