[indiana-discuss] Compiling Package(s) in Indiana?

[Laszlo (Laca) Peter]

And BTW, I should have a new version of the JDS CBE ready by Monday
and it will "support" indiana, in the sense that it will "pkg install"
a bunch of packages that you need for development and are not
installed by default (e.g. SUNWhea, to start with the basics).
It won't install any of the utilities that are now in SFW
(e.g. subversion, automake, autoconf).

So stay tuned.  I've been using Indiana with a bunch of SFE packages
for about 2 weeks now and it's wasn't difficult to switch from
Nevada.  My only complaint is the poor fonts.
