I guess this is somewhat off-topic, but it involves making other operating
systems more Linux-like...

Has anyone recently gone through the process of building and using RPM on
Solaris 2.6/7?  I'm in the process of figuring out how to put everything
together properly.  I think I've got a decent sequence figured out, though
I still have to try it.  Any pointers would be helpful.

Also, I've been growing accustomed to the way things are laid out in
RedHat, and I'm wondering if it would be a Bad Idea to try and put the
files in similar places (i.e. directly in /usr/bin, /etc, and so forth),
rather than dumping everything in /usr/local, like most Solaris stuff.
