openssh unix dev - Aug 2000 - [PATCH] Add Solaris 'pkgadd' support scripts in contrib/solaris

All--
Attached is a tarball that has undergone some testing
here and appears to handle all reasonable cases.
The goal is to allow OpenSSH users to easily create
installable Solaris packages, which can be installed
using the native 'pkgadd' command.  Comments
requested--it sure has helped things here.  As always,
I would recommend caution if you're trying to
upgrade SSH while logged in remotely by SSH.
>From the README:
______________
To use, simply expand this tarball under your main
OpenSSH source directory--it will create a
contrib/solaris subdirectory.  Run configure and
make in OpenSSH as before.  Then, from either
that directory or the main OpenSSH source directory,
run the command "build-pkg" (specifying the
appropriate path of course.)  A subdirectory
will be created as contrib/solaris/build-SSH-package,
and after the build is done the package will be
present in that build-SSH-package directory
with a name of the form
OPENssh-$SSHversion-$arch-$OSversion[-$installLocation]

The build and install scripts should take into account
most possible situations (existing SSH installation,
differences in Solaris version between build and
target systems, changes you have made to the default
configuration, etc.)  I would appreciate any feedback
or comments.
______________

For anyone who hasn't played with packages of this
type before (such as the ones on sunfreeware.com),
the packages built with these scripts are installed using
'pkgadd -d FILENAME'.
