CSW (Community SoftWare) is a free, volunteer effort, to provide quality downloadable binary packages for the currently fully supported versions of Sun Solaris (Currently, 8, 9, and 10). We provide them in the OS-native standard SVR4 package format. These packages are available to anyone who wishes to use them. We have been providing packages for Solaris since 2002!
Our motto, is "to provide a straightforward, easy-to-use experience for the user". To that end, we use pkg-get (similar to the Debian program apt-get) as the preferred installation tool of choice.
The beauty of this program, is that it eliminates having to manually
download a whole suite of packages and libraries, just to get the one piece
of software you actually care about.
For example, a simple
pkg-get install openoffice
