What is Blastwave.org ?

Blastwave is a software service for Solaris x86 and Solaris Sparc users

Blastwave is a collective effort to create a set of binary packages of free software, that can be automatically installed to a Solaris computer (sparc or x86 based) over the network. Blastwave has a substantial build server farm for the use of the software developers and maintainers in the Solaris community. All software is built and tested in a standardized build environment using Sun ONE Studio 8, Sun ONE Studio 10, Studio 11 tools as well as GCC.

      There are currently 1806 software packages in standard SVR4 package format
      ready to use and easily installed with “pkg-get”. Please see the “crontab list”
      for the most recent 400 software packages released. The list is updated often.

      The software is delivered in the form of two “branches” of package files. There is
      the “unstable” branch and the “stable” branch. As one would expect the packages in the
      “unstable” branch change quite often. New software is added and updates are released
      continuously. The “stable” tree also exists and it changes once per quarter year at most.
      Each of these branches contains the same list of software packages for Solaris™ on
      either UltraSparc™ or the x86/AMD64 architectures.

      The current branch sizes in bytes are thus :

3943948295 bytes in unstable branch for sparc
3759484597 bytes in stable branch for sparc
3699005039 bytes in unstable branch for x86 & AMD64
3513327303 bytes in stable branch for x86 & AMD64

If you would like to contribute your time to this effort, please sign up!

Packaging standards for CSW packages are publically available for reading. The general principle is,

“provide a straightforward, easy-to-use experience for the user.”

Then please read the packaging standards documentation, and sign up to maintain a package!

We Have a Network of Mirror Sites

Current public mirrors.

We have a limited number of public mirrors. If you have the bandwidth and disk space to spare, please let us know!

See the official package mirrors page for the list of mirrors, and instructions on how to install packages.

Currently Available Packages

We have a full list of pkg-get visible software, with descriptions

Actual pkgadd type names are not shown in the above list.

When using pkg-get, you will deal with the more human-readable names seen in the leftmost column of the description list in the above link. However, you can easily identify blastwave.org packages in "pkginfo" output, because they always start with "CSW". Additionally, if you click on a specific package in the above page, it will tell you the pkgadd name if you really need to know it.
