Apparently they did ...now I'm just going to try it with their cvs build 
system ...This seems to me the only way I can go because the other 
system is Linux centric so that won't work...I'll make a list as I go 
and put it on my web server. the only problem I see will be the pkg 
building stuff...because from what I've seen it doesn't build Solaris 
pkg files
but I've seen a tool that does that tried it for cups and it worked well 
so chances are that it will work for GNOME.
