+The following is a new package build script for Solaris. This is being
+introduced into OpenSSH 3.0 and above in hopes of simplifying the build
+process. As of 3.1p2 the script should work on all platforms that have
+SVR4 style package tools.
+
+The build process is called a 'dummy install'.. Which means the software does
+a "make install-nokeys DESTDIR=[fakeroot]". This way all manpages should
+be handled correctly and key are deferred until the first time the sshd
+is started.
+
+Directions:
+
+1. make -F Makefile.in distprep (Only if you are getting from the CVS tree)
+2. ./configure --with-pam [..any other options you want..]
+3. look at the top of buildpkg.sh for the configurable options and put
+ any changes you want in openssh-config.local. Additional customizations
+ can be done to the build process by creating one or more of the following
+ scripts that will be sourced by buildpkg.sh.
+ pkg_post_make_install_fixes.sh pkg-post-prototype-edit.sh
+ pkg-preinstall.local pkg-postinstall.local pkg-preremove.local
+ pkg-postremove.local pkg-request.local
+4. Run "make package"
+
+If all goes well you should have a solaris package ready to be installed.
+
+If you have any problems with this script please post them to
+openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org and I will try to assist you as best as I can.
