Grumble, the fact that modern day and currently patched Solaris 10 does not support the -maxdepth option in it’s included find command is a real pain. So I spent this morning grabbing the findutils package, which meant grabbing the libintl package (it is one of several dependencies) and checking to make sure our already installed gcc, libiconv, libgcc, and coreutils packages were installed and up to date.
Of course, we manage our server deployments from a build repository, so once these packages are built we can deploy them to dozens of servers with very little effort, and that means doing the build, and setting everything up in the deployment; so I spent several hours getting the silly -maxdepth option working on our Solaris farm of servers. It just works in Linux; so why do we do Solaris again?
Thank you Sunfreeware.com for making all these packages easy to search, dependency check, and grab. As BobP is fond of saying: “Naked UNIX is an ugly thing!”
