They work fine for .deb programs. The Solaris package when installed makes
entried in root's crontab for the /etc/cron.daily,weekly,monthly. I
haven't figured out how to work with /etc/cron.d yes expect for installing
the cron package over Solaris's version. update-rc.d works ok, except that
Solaris goes thru init 2 and 3 on boot up, 3 being the final state after
boot. So i edited the update-rc.d defaults to cope with this.
The base install requires perl, dpkg, gzip, bash, and a few others I can't
remember right this second.
Give me a week, I will have something setup for ppl to see.
